Bette (note spelling) died in l989. an interesting anecdote follows. i was aware of the death having heard of it on the radio news. I was at the Hoboken railroad festival having a good time and they announced a free ride to end of the Meadowlands yards on one of the tracks- naturally I took it, being a railroad buff. nice ride through the Bergen Tunnel and all- ex Erie-lackawanna equipment and trackage the only odd thing, when I got off, I could not help notice the serial number of the car-l603- the year Queen Elizabeth I died- portrayed twice by Bette Davis! a coincidence

∙ 14y agoShe died in Paris, France, hence some confusion on dates and time zones, it was in l989 as I was going to the Hoboken Railroad fest at the time. by a curious oversight i happened to get a free ride- a tour of the terminal yards- in of all things N.J. Transit- ex-Erie Lackawanna- Car #l603. why is this number odd- Elizabeth I who was played by Bette Davis in two different films- died in l603! I mentioned this and several people saw the coincidence. There are more details in the book More than a Woman- on Bette Davis death and funeral arrangements. She was buried in a French style Mahogany Casket= the(Empress) style- and was laid out in a Black Empire Gown- also originating in France!
