Bette Davis died from cancer at the age of 81 on October 6, 1989 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Nanterre, France. Prior to her death, she experienced many health problems in succession. In 1983, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy.
Bette worked in the later 1980s in films and TV, even though a stroke had impaired her appearance and mobility. She wrote a book, This 'N That, during her recovery from the stroke. Her last book was Bette Davis, The Lonely Life, issued in paperback in 1990. It included an update from 1962 to 1989.
