What does "Bette Davis Eyes" mean?

Google “Whatever happened to baby jane?” under Google images, and take a look at the full-size version of the third picture along. It’s Bette Davis eyes all the way, and it scared the shit out of me.

Beats Falk, Feldman and Sammy any day of the week.

I always think of Bette Davis eyes as the type where you can see the white on three sides, even when the person is looking straight at you.

Here, for example:

Think of the rest of the song; the woman discussed is a decisive, experienced woman who will never come in second to anyone she meets, especially when it comes to banter, a staple in movie oldies.

Bette’s Davis’s eyes are so perfectly arranged that they can win an argument all by themselves, without resorting to seduction.

:rolleyes:
