1967This answer of 1967 here is bogus for the year of actress Bette Davis' graduation.Ruth Elizabeth (Bette) Davis was born April 5, 1908 in Lowell, Massachusetts to Harlow Morrell and Ruth Augusta (Favor) Davis. After Miss Davis' father, a patent attorney, abandoned the family about 1915, Bette's mother, Ruthie, relocated the family from Lowell to Newton, Massachusetts, sent her daughters Bette and Barbara ("Bobby") to a boarding school in the Berkshires, in 1921 relocated again to New York City, where she worked very hard as a portrait photographer, to afford the tuition to send Bette to the private & prestigious Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts.Bette may also have attended some other schools, private and public, including Newton High School in Newton, Massachusetts, in the years before and between the boarding schools and Cushing, from where she would probably have graduated in 1926.For her acting training, Davis attended the Robert Milton-John Murray Anderson School of the Theatre & Dancein Manhattan beyween 1927-28, the same school later attended by Lucille Ball.

Was bette Davis Jewish?
Yes, of course. Bette Davis was one of the few Democrats among the great stars of Hollywood's golden age, and one of the most active. An ardent supporter of FDR, she spoke at the 1940 and 1944 Democratic conventions. She also performed at the inauguration party for JFK and was friendly with the Carters, who were, in turn, lifelong fans of hers. Other Democrats included Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Myrna Loy, Melvin Douglas, Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, Orson Welles, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Gregory Peck, Jack Lemmon, Judy Holliday, Kirk Douglas, and Edward G. Robinson. A few stars like James Cagney, Frank Sinatra, and Charlton Heston were Democrats who later jumped ship. Most of the rest of the movie establishment were Republicans until a new wave swept over Hollywood in the sixties.
