4. That entire movie is filled with great lines.

She was brilliant in it.

I think she is one of those women who remained beautiful at every age. She had that poise from within.

5. 'High Society' was my favorite Celeste Holm performance

She was always a favorite of mine, including 'All About Eve', 'A Letter to Three Wives', 'The Snake Pit', and 'A Gentleman's Agreement'. All great. She was a treasure.
