Personal Quote:

I never had any other thought in my mind. I was gonna write songs, I was gonna be a star and a singer and I never thought of doing anything else. See more »

Trivia:

After the song "Bette Davis Eyes" became a hit single, Bette Davis wrote letters to singer Kim Carnes and songwriters Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon and asked how did they know so much about her. One of the reasons Davis loved the Grammy-winning song is that her granddaughter heard it and thought her grandmother was "cool" for having a hit song written about her. See more »
