THERE'S A NEW BOXOFFICE<br />
STAR<br />
ON THE HORIZON!<br />
Although Bette has two Oscars to her credit,<br />
she could win a third, and she'll certainly get<br />
a nomination for her fine performance in<br />
THE STAR<br />
Bert Friedlob's production for 20th<br />
Century-Fox . . .<br />
Bette has the opportunity to run the gamut<br />
of emotions (and she can really run them, too)<br />
... as a passe movie star who refuses to I'ecognize<br />
the fact that she's through; that her<br />
stellar days and temperamental binges are<br />
over, Bette performs not only as Bette Davis,<br />
but as Joan Crawford, Miriam Hopkins,<br />
Tallulah Bankhead and Gloria Swanson . . .<br />
Friedlob deserves a bow for<br />
Hollywood background he gave for the<br />
the authentic<br />
Katherine Albert and Dale Eunson story and<br />
screenplay (incidentally, this,<br />
Oscar) . . .<br />

Bette dominates nearly every scene, yet<br />
there is room for a mighty good performance<br />
by Sterling Hayden, as the man who rescues<br />
the fallen star and tries to make her life a little<br />
better . . . Natalie Wood, Warner Anderson,<br />
June Travis and Barbara Lawrence are in<br />
supporting roles . . . Stuart Heisler directed . .<br />
Whether 'The Star' wins any Academy<br />
honors, or not, it still is an outstanding Bette C|€|<br />
Davis triumph<br />
