Custom image of Bette Davis and Mia Goth in MaXXXine
The Big Picture MaXXXine is a film for movie lovers, filled with cinematic references and nods, but the most obvious ones are related to classic Hollywood icon Bette Davis. Before the movie even begins, one of her most famous quotes sets the tone for Maxine Minx's journey: "In this business, until you’re known as a monster, you are not a star." Then, as the credits start rolling, everything is wrapped up to the tune of Kim Carnes' 80s hit "Bette Davis Eyes.

"Bette Davis Eyes" Is a Reference to Maxine and Her "X Factor" Close Although she worked in Hollywood at a time when women were considered first and foremost for their physical attributes, Bette Davis' eyes were her most notorious feature. Having "Bette Davis eyes" became synonymous with being bold, confident, and determined, and, in 1981, Kim Carnes released a song called exactly that.
Both Bette Davis and Maxine Wanted To Be Successful on Her Own Terms It may be strange to think that a slasher about an aspiring actress working in the adult film industry while trying to get her big break is a worthy homage to Bette Davis and her legacy, but MaXXXine works perfectly this way. Both Davis and Maxine are strong-willed and determined to be successful in their own right, and that manifests in both their careers. Both of them are defined by the passion they have for their work.
