High Tea with Bette Davis, Legendary Movie Star
Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance presents ...
Join us for High Tea with special guest
Bette Davis
Legendary Movie Star
Literary dramatist Leslie Goddard, Phd as Bette Davis.
Doors open at 12:00 pm, Tea service commences at 1:00 pm
Turning back the time machine: it is 1959 and Bette Davis is joining us to share stories of her life in the movies and the Golden Age of American movies.
Few actresses in Hollywood rivaled her for longevity and appeal. In such classic films as Jezebel, Dark Victory, Now,Voyager, The Letter, and All About Eve, Bette Davis
created a new kind of film heroine: strong, outspoken,
glamorous, and even wicked. And her personal life was just as tempestuous as her life onscreen.
Actress and scholar Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., brings these smart, beautiful women to life as they discuss their complicated relationships with Hamilton and the other men in their lives and help shape the new nation. You dont need to have seen the smash hit musical Hamilton to enjoy this, but if you have, itll bring the history behind the show alive!
Our tables seat 10 guests. We will do our very best to arrange you are seated with your friends. Please advise by phone or e-mail if you have friends paying separately who will sit with you.
An early bird boutique will feature jewelry, hats, purses and accessories.
A live auction will be conducted to benefit Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance's State Fair Family Heirloom project.
We will serve High Tea catered by Gerri
