This 'n That by Bette Davis
Last semester of high school. Two girls from different cultures. A pairing for a class project. When two young women have a seemingly chance meeting during their last semester of high school, neither have any idea how it will change their lives forever. Rachel is miserable. Living in an unstable family and unsure of her worth, even though she is extremely bright and artistic. Just when you think her situation can't get any worse, it does. Isabel has a dream family, yet she too suffers with insecurities. Being shy and sensitive, her anger can overwhelm her. An unexpected turn of events causes tension in an otherwise harmonious family. The Lost Sheep is a heartwarming story of how far God goes to rescue us, using people we never imagined, to bring healing and reconciliation. Join them on their journey, through trials and triumphs, as they discover God's love for them. Isabel and Rachel can't imagine the wonderful plans He has for them, and their families.
Bette Davis was born Ruth Elizabeth Davis in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1908. After graduating from Cushing Academy, she enrolled in John Murray Anderson's Dramatic School. She made her Broadway debut in 1929, and acted in a number of theatre roles before signing to Universal Studios and later Warner Brothers Pictures. Her first film with them was Seed (1931) but the film that launched her to stardom was The Man Who Played God (1932). A string of hit films followed, including Of Human Bondage (1934) and Dangerous (1935) which won her an Oscar. Her second Oscar came in 1938, for her role as Julie in Jezebel. During the Second World War, she contributed to the war effort by selling war bonds, and in 1942 she helped to organise the Hollywood Canteen - an entertainment club for servicemen passing through Los Angeles. Her work in setting this up was recognised in 1980, when she was awarded the Distinguished Civilian Service Medal. She was highly acclaimed by critics for her performance in Now, Voyager (1942), but subsequent films during the Forties were disappointing. However, Davis made a triumphant comeback as Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950), which won her the New York Film Critics Circle Award and the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. Twelve years later, she was to have another resounding success with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962). In 1977, she was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Film Institute - the first time a woman had received that award. She later received the the Film Society of Lincoln Center Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as the Legion d'Honneur and the Campione d'Italia. Davis died in 1989 in in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
