The quoteable Miss Bette Davis
Edited on Wed Oct-10-07 04:51 PM by book_worm
"Everybody has a heart, Except for some people."

"Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought it all the way."

"I am just too much."

"I do not regret one professional enemy I've made. Any actor worth their salt who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business."

"I survived because I was tougher than anybody else."

"I often think that a slightly exposed shoulder emerging from a satin nightgown packed more sex than two naked bodies going at it."

"I was the Marlon Brando of my generation."

"I will never be below the title."

"I work to stay alive."

"I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair."

"In this business, until you're known as a monster--you haven't made it at all."

"It is my last wish to be buried sitting up."

"Old age is no place for sissies."

"The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I knocked her down the stairs in Baby Jane."

"The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this--he's dead."

"We movie stars all end up alone--Who knows? maybe we want to?"

"When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman offers her opinion--she's a bitch."

1. Oh, I like the last one.
I love Bette. She was a tough, talented lady.

One had to be, in her time.

2. My Favorite quote of Mrs. Davis >>>
She and Joan Crawford Hated each other.
When Joan died, a reporter asked Mrs. Davis what she thought.

She said: "Well Darling...My parents told me to always speak good of the dead....So...Joan Crawford is dead...Good.

:rofl: :rofl:
