Bette Davis: A life in pictures

Davis truly became a star with her powerhouse performance in this pre-code 1934 adaptation of Somerset Maugham's novel "Of Human Bondage" as Mildred Rogers, a Cockney tea room waitress who becomes the object of obsession of a club-footed medical student (Leslie Howard). Davis has some great lines that she utters with no-holds-barred venom: "It made me sick when I had to let ya kiss me. I only did it because ya begged me, ya hounded me and drove me crazy! And after ya kissed me, I always used to wipe my mouth! Wipe my mouth!"

It was predicted that Davis would receive an Oscar nomination for her performance. But she didn't. There was such an outrage that the Academy allowed write-in votes. Though Davis came up empty, she became a force to be reckoned with.

Hannibal gets his just desserts and Hanks goes back-to-back.
