Chef Babette Davis Personal Life
Babette was born on 7th December 1950 in the boulevards of Washington. As a child, Babette was accustomed to lack because her family was poor and her mother raised the family with the little she could get. The neighborhood they grew up in made Babette, her big brother, and her small sister a victim of circumstances.
