Growing up in Bristol, we heard lots of anecdotal stories about famous people who spent time there, among them actress Bette Davis. While such stories usually are well-documented, that was not the case with Miss Davis who was seeking anonymity when she visited the area. Unlike Claude Rains, who would walk down the street in Sandwich wearing a cape, a broad-brimmed hat, and dark glasses “so as not to be noticed”, Davis took her privacy more seriously. She was more interested in settling in for rest and relaxation and she attempted to avoid publicity for the most part.
