Bette Davis’ epilogue in Feud FX: “In 1983, Bette Davis was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. Within two weeks she suffered four strokes which caused paralysis on the left side of her face. She never stopped working, and continued to smoke up to 100 cigarettes a day. Feted with numerous honors and awards near the end of her life, Davis’ cancer returned in 1989. She died in France on October 6, 1989. Bette Davis was 81 years old. She is interred in Forest Lawn-Hollywood Cemetery in Los Angeles. Her epitaph reads: ‘She did it the hard way.’”
