TRIVIA:

According to director 'Sydney Pollack' (qv), he met with both Davis and 'Julie Christie (I)' (qv) before casting 'Meryl Streep' (qv) in the role of Karen Blixen in _Out of Africa (1985)_ (qv).
Like 'Judy Garland (I)' (qv), whom she portrayed in a 2001 TV-movie, Davis is left-handed.
She turned down the 'Rachel Ward (I)' (qv) role in the Australian miniseries _"The Thorn Birds" (1983)_ (qv).
Once said that the one role she wanted but didn't get was 'Debra Winger' (qv)'s part in _The Sheltering Sky (1990)_ (qv).
Once described her character in _High Tide (1987)_ (qv) as the one which is "closest to my own persona".
To prepare for her role as 'Judy Garland (I)' (qv) in _Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001) (TV)_ (qv), she pored over television footage, biographies and nearly all of Garland's 32 feature films. She also wore dark contact lenses for the role.
Both times she was Oscar-nominated, she competed with 'Vanessa Redgrave' (qv) for the award. Neither actress won the award either time.
