Bette's Hats and Reviews: Waterloo Bridge (1931)

Mae Clarke & Bette Davis

Waterloo Bridge (1931) was Bette's third film. In her autobiography, The Lonely Life, Bette wrote, "Universal, now irrevocably convinced that they had been duped, made the best of a bad bargain and cast me in Robert Sherwood's Waterloo Bridge in which Mae Clarke played Myra opposite Douglas Montgomery's Roy. I was his gentle sister, Janet, who is kind to the hapless heroine. And that was that!" (Davis, 117).

She wore one hat. You can just make out a bow on the band on the right side of the hat.

Bette's performance was not mentioned in the reviews. The film was on YouTube but has been removed twice.
