Bette Davis Ain’t For Sissies is the acclaimed one-woman show written and performed by Jessica Sherr (Claws, Blue Bloods) and directed by Drama Desk Award–winner Karen Carpenter. Seen in over 475 performances across three continents, this powerhouse piece explores Bette Davis’ rise, her battles with the studio system, her fierce demand for artistic control, and the personal sacrifices that shaped her into one of Hollywood’s most iconic, uncompromising women.
Through humor, fire, and vulnerability, Sherr embodies Davis at pivotal moments in her life: from her early Broadway beginnings to her fearless fight for better roles, to the emotional cost of being a woman who refused to shrink herself for anyone. Hailed as “thoroughly entertaining” (Cabot PAC) and “a one-woman revolution” (Windy City Times), the show continues to captivate audiences with its power, passion, and intimacy.
A celebration of resilience, ambition, and unapologetic truth, Bette Davis Ain’t For Sissies offers a moving and electrifying portrait of a legend who changed Hollywood forever.
