Let’s “eavesdrop”… starting with “catty” comments.
“Mae West – she’s a legend in her own mind.” – JAYNEMANSFIELD
“They arrested Helen Reddy for loitering in front of an orchestra.” – BETTEMIDLER
“Diane Keaton is no relation to the other famous Keaton. Although they should have switched names. She acts like a Buster, and he was male but very graceful – always ‘Diane’ for a laugh. Get it? Bad pun. – JOAN HACKET
“When I worked with Katharine Hepburn, decades ago, I was terrified of her – that voice, her jaw, the whole package. I’m still scared of her!” – LUCILLEBALL
“Tallulah Bankhead is a marvelous female impersonator.” – ANNEBAXTER
“Joan Crawford – Hollywood’s first case of syphilis. “ – BETTEDAVIS
“Working with Bette Davis was one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever had. I meant that kindly. Bette is of a different temperament than I. She has to yell every morning. I just sat and knitted. I knitted a scarf from Hollywood to Malibu.” – JOAN CRAWFORD
“Brigitte Bardot was a sex symbol. Period. When she lost her looks, she lost her career, everything. Her mind went, too.” – SIMONESIGNORET
“I did one film for Alfred Hitchcock (‘Stage Fright’). Jane Wyman was in it. I heard she’d only wanted to do it if she was billed above me, and she got her wish. Hitchcock didn’t think much of her. She looks too much like victim to play a woman of mystery – that was my part. Miss Wyman looks like a mystery nobody has bothered to solve.” – MARLENEDIETRICH
