Now, Voyager: A Tale of Love and Self-Esteem
“The untold want, by life and land ne’er granted,Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.”– Walt Whitman, “The Untold Want”
Now, Voyager, directed by Irving Rapper, was released in 1942 and became a success. To this day it remains a beloved classic and, arguably, one of Bette Davis’s greatest roles (out of many great roles).
I think it’s one of the most romantic movies ever made. It’s…

Before the next take I said to myself, ‘Just fucking do it.’ And it happened. It felt brutal. It felt awful. They called cut and I was still bawling.
