1939 – Jezebel
Early in her career, Bette Davis starred in the Oscar-nominated film “Jezebel” which lost to Jimmy Stewart’s film, “You Can’t Take It With You”. “Jezebel” was a fiery movie in which Bette plays a spoiled Southern belle who acts less than ladylike. Bette earned herself an Oscar nomination and win for this film, but the film itself deserved an Oscar win as well.
