It's been a big year for avocados. So it's no surprise that the avocado emoji on Unicode 9 is basically groundbreaking news. Sure, there are important things going on in the world today, but nothing as fulfilling and long-awaited as the introduction of the avocado emoji. I mean, what have we even been doing all of this time without it?
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.
Davis was a trailblazer in Hollywood, and became the first woman to be honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award -- it's no wonder this lady is a legend. In celebration of her birthday (on April 5), we are taking a look back at a vintage photo of the star. In this 1934 snapshot we see Davis decked out in fur (faux we hope!), for her role in Fashions of 1934.. Her elaborate ensemble, complete with a pom-pom hat and gloves with scalloped edges, was perfect for her character, a fashion designer. Her coiffed hair is certainly a nod to the times, while her beautiful doe eyes make it clear why there was a song written in their honor.
