CD1: Interview with Bette Davis (1963) *30min / cd*
Even though it's audio only, this is still very interesting interview.

I have some other things as well; like AFI tribute, Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, tv movies, more tv episodes.

I'm more or less interested in anything with Bette. But my main interest are interviews/talk shows.
