Author and broadcaster Sarah Churchwell describes the spell that female stars of the 1930s and 40s have over her. From Joan Crawford, the 'working girl', to someone regarded as 'the quintessential Diva' – none other than Bette Davis. Apart from appearing in some great films, she had the eyes and the laugh, and could smoke like a dragon! Produced by Duncan Minshull. First broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in March 2017.
