Earlier this week, I finished this laugh-out-loud funny book by Elizabeth Fuller. It is called Me and Jezebel. Elizabeth Fuller discussed in great detail the time Better Davis was only supposed to stay a weekend at an acquaintance’s house, but stayed waaaayyy longer than she was supposed to! Before this huge fiasco began, Elizabeth Fuller first met Better Davis through a mutual friend, and they all had dinner at Fuller’s house.

Fuller was star-struck at first because Bette Davis was one of her all-time favorite actresses. However, with the turn of events that followed after that one-time dinner, it is felt that she felt completely different after Davis stayed on and had completely worn out her welcome. But how did this movie icon come to stay at this one-time acquaintance’s house?

Well, it was back in May 1985 in Connecticut when Fuller received a phone call from Davis explaining that Davis needed a place to stay because she was going to stay at a hotel in New York City, but there was a hotel strike going on.

Davis promised Fuller that she was just going to stay the weekend. So Fuller accepted Davis to stay, being that it was one of her all-time idols; however, when Fuller realized that Davis kept her on her lengthy stay as her houseguest. Davis’ facade quickly faded, so in turn, Fuller recounts a hilarious account of what happened. This book soon became one of my favorite books to read, and it was highly recommended by AndJustLikeWhat Podcast. Which is also a great podcast to listen to! There are numerous copies of Fuller’s book available for purchase online. I was able to snag a copy on eBay!
