What did Bette Davis think when Hepburn raced ahead and won her third Oscar?

Famously in 1969 Streisand and Hepburn tied, giving Katherine her record-breaking third win for The Lion In Winter.

Bette was very candid about desperately wanting to be the first actress who won three and notoriously never forgave "Crawfish" for costing her the 1962 race. I cannot see her do anything to risk having Hepburn win again (twice in 2 years), so who do you think she voted for?

Davis respected Hepburn immensely. So while it stung, she probably didn’t feel...is disrespected the right word? As she might have if, for example, Crawford (who she didn’t consider to be on her level) had done it instead.

She might very well have voted for Hepburn.
