Due to a hotel strike that had displaced her from her New York home, Ms. Davis ended up staying for a month! ME AND JEZEBEL is based on the true story of this hilarious, surreal, and aggravating chapter in the life of Ms. Fuller, her husband and young son, as the powerful Ms. Davis inserts herself into their lives. Bette doesn't shy away from speaking her mind on child-rearing, critiques of Elizabeth's cooking, spiritualism, other celebrities and of course, Joan Crawford. Things reach a crisis when the family's young son begins imitating Bette's voice, smoking and worse, language. You won't want to miss this wild ride that The Washington Post called "a zingy comedy… as funny as you could hope for."
