'Now, Voyager'

The absolute irony of Bette Davis starring as the homely, awkward and meek Charlotte Vale is delicious.

Davis campaigned to get the role. She got so involved that she was picking her own wardrobe.

She has a say and opinions into the director and male co-stars.

Charlotte Vale would never do anything of these things. She'd barely make it in front of the camera.

Instead, she was played by one of the most forthright actresses in film history: Bette Davis.

The film co-starred Claude Rains and Paul Henreid. The pair would finish filming Now, Voyager June 3, 1942. The next day, they would start filming Casablanca together.
