Bette Davis as Empress Carlota of Mexico in the film "
Juarez". In this scene, the tragic empress was secretly visiting a shrine to pray for the help of Our Lady of Guadalupe in having a child, both for herself and so that there would be an heir to the crown of Mexico. It was a very touching scene, very beautifully shot and very well acted. Davis was a pro.
Favourite quote from the movie, by Claude Rains:
