ANNOUNCING ”THE BETTE DAVIS BLOGATHON”

 

Many years ago when my passion and strong dedication for classic cinema first evolved, Bette Davis was one of the first stars who I discovered. Due to my love of Bette’s illustrious resume of films, I can easily say that Bette helped establish my love of old movies.

Bette Davis was born on April 5th, 1908. In commemoration of her 107th Birthday, I’ve decided to pay tribute to Bette by hosting a blogathon in her honour. If you love Bette as much as I do, this is your chance to spread the Bette cheer by participating in the blogathon.

 BLOGATHON RULES:

1. Feel free to write about any subject relating to Bette Davis or any aspect of her life and career. As long as the topic relates to Bette or her filmography, it’s more than welcome.

2. Due to Bette’s extensive body of work and a diverse range of topics, I’m allowing no more than two duplicate entries. If you have a film or topic in mind, act fast. It’s first in best dressed.

3. When: The Blogathon will be held on April 3rd – 5th, 2016, so you can post on any of those dates.

4. To express your interest in participating in the blogathon, leave a comment on my blog, along with the name and URL of your blog, and the subject you wish to cover, or you can always register by email at: carolelombardforever@yahoo.com. For those of you who wish to register by email, please be sure to include the name and URL of your blog, and the topic you wish to cover. Once you get confirmation, please spread the word about this blogathon by advertising the event on your blog. Below are a few banners, so grab yourself a banner, and let’s celebrate the indelible Bette Davis.
