Don’t fuck with me, fellas. This cowgirl has been to the rodeo before.

Working with Bette Davis on Whatever Happened to Baby Jane was one of the greatest
challenges I ever had. And I mean that kindly. Bette is of a different temperament than I.
Bette had to scream and yell every morning. I just sat and knitted. I knitted a scarf from
Hollywood to Malibu.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can
never tell.

1. Find your own style and have the courage to stick to it.
2. Choose your clothes for your way of life.
3. Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
4. Find your happiest colours – the ones that make you feel good.
5. Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are!

I never go outside unless I look like – Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl
next door, go next door.

I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her
hairdresser.

There was a saying around MGM – Norma Shearer got the productions, Greta Garbo supplied
the art, and – Joan Crawford made the money to pay for both.

If you’ve earned a position, be proud of it. Don’t hide it. I want to be recognized. When I
hear people say, “There’s – Joan Crawford!” I turn around and say, “Hi! How are you?”
– Joan Crawford
I need sex for a clear complexion, but I’d rather do it for love.

The Democratic party is one that I’ve always observed. I have struggled greatly in life from
the day I was born and I am honored to be apart of something that focuses on working class
citizens and molds them into a proud specimen. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Kennedy have done so
much in that regard for the two generations they’ve won over during their career course.
