  • Trivia
    Bette Davis once sent for her after Claude Rains had died and said she wanted her to come to the set where she was working, to talk about her father. When Jessica came to the set, Davis closed the door to her dressing room, and said: "Now we're gonna talk about Claude." And for about an hour and a half she told stories about him.
