She was also known for having [[SpeechImpediment quite a noticeable stutter]]; fortunately it never manifested itself onscreen, but in everyday life, it never went away. However, [[SpeechImpededLoveInterest given her beauty and charisma]], it was more of an endearing CharmPoint than a flaw.

You probably know her as the purported basis for the Susan Alexander character in ''Film/CitizenKane'' (the lounge singer whose affair with Kane led to him pushing her to be an opera singer, even though she's not good at it). For the record, Davies was not as dreadfully untalented as her fictional counterpart, and Creator/OrsonWelles later regretted the unflattering portrayal. However, many feel that Davies was a gifted comic actress ill-suited to the lavish historical epics that Hearst insisted on showcasing her in.
