Original Bette Davis Movie Posters

Bette Davis movie posters from Jezebel, All About Eve, and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? rank among the most sought items in the golden-age actress market — original one-sheets and lobby cards carrying the full weight of the studio's investment in its most forceful star. Davis won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Dangerous (1935) and Jezebel (1938), and delivered landmark performances in Now Voyager (1942), All About Eve (1950)—in which her portrayal of Margo Channing is one of the finest in American film—and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962). Shop original theatrical materials from her extensive and celebrated filmography. Davis's screen presence was built on intelligence, emotional directness, and a willingness to sacrifice conventional glamour for character truth. At Warner Bros. during the 1930s and 1940s, she fought with the studio for roles that allowed her this range, and won. Her influence on subsequent generations of actresses—and on the broader understanding of what women could do in film—is fundamental to Hollywood history. She received ten Academy Award nominations over her career. Original one-sheets, lobby cards, window cards, and insert cards featuring Bette Davis are consistently among the most sought-after in classic Hollywood collecting. Materials from her Warner Bros. peak years are particularly desirable and genuinely scarce in fine condition, as six decades of circulation have diminished the supply of undamaged examples. Her portrait photography from the studio's in-house photography department is among the most beautiful in Hollywood's history. Shop our Drama and Joan Crawford collections for related materials.
