A Moment With Betty Davis

bettydavis 300x156 A Moment With Betty Davis Via No Depression / ‘The Beautiful Dichotomy of Betty Davis: A Rare Conversation with the Elusive Mistress of Funk’

I am a big fan of Betty Davis. I think she better find a place in the economically-challenged Miles Davis Biopic. That’s good cinema right there. In fact, she might be perfect for a biopic of her own. Also: The Miles Davis Movie: The Betty Year
