Summary:
Miss
D
and
Me
is a story of two powerful women, one at the end of her
life
and the other at the beginning. As
Bette
Davis
aged she was looking for an assistant, but she found something more than that in Kathryn: a loyal and loving buddy, a co-conspirator in her jokes and schemes, and a competent assistant whom she trained never to
miss
a detail.
Miss
D
had strict rules for Kathryn about everything from how to eat a salad to how to wear her hair - even the spelling of Kathryn's name was changed per
Miss
D
's request. The two grew incredibly close, and Kathryn had a front-row seat to the larger-than-life
Davis
's career renaissance in her later years, as well as to the humiliating public betrayal that nearly killed
Miss
D
. The frame of this story is a four-day road trip Kathryn and
Davis
took from Biarritz to Paris, during which they disentangled their ferocious dependency. A window into the world of the unique and formidable
Bette
Davis
, told by the person who perhaps knew her best of all.
Genre:
Memoirs.
