Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastian

This guide to the Hotel Maria Cristina in San Sebastian centers on September 1989, when an ailing Bette Davis arrived to collect the festival's Donostia Award, determined not to let the cameras see how little strength she had left. It follows the two-time Oscar winner through press conferences and a stage appearance inside this Belle Epoque hotel, and the decision she made once the festival ended. Listen in the lobby, beneath the same curved windows and marble halls built decades earlier for a queen.
