THIS clip of Celeste Holm's question to Bette Davis sums the current climate up perfectly.
Now... who need's a cock-a-tail?

ReplyDeleteA drink around here doesn't have time to get warm dear.
DeleteYou've been making my days with your cheerful post. That clip is a good one, if not legendary in these times. I have not been feeling well, so we are still waiting and hoping it's not THE virus but another. Of all times to get sick. Just to be safe, my other half is staying with family.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I sure hope you'll be feeling better dear and keep us posted. Fingers crossed.
DeleteBAM!-
ReplyDeletePerfect. And true.
"She's got Bette Davis Eyes", just popped up in my head.
ReplyDeleteNo one does it better!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite film, alongside Sunset Blvd.
ReplyDeleteI love Bette, and her feud with Celeste was divine!
Every feud that old battle ax had with anyone was divine.
DeleteShe taught me well!
Delete"is it over or is it just beginning?" is she referring to the covid 19 or the gin drinking?
ReplyDeleteBumpy is not the word for it.
ReplyDeleteI know at least one party who's gonna have a bumpy couple of months.
DeleteI have never seen this movie. I know, bad person.
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone, W.Q.
DeleteBette was EVERYTHING,
ReplyDeleteNow you made me wanna binge watch old B&W movies.
Where’s that cocktail?
XoXo

DeleteIt's down here cutie!
DeleteMy favourite line in one of my favourite movies, ever!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the two "ladies" - Bette and Celeste - loathed the sight of eachother makes it all the more pithy...

"On the first day of shooting, I walked on the set and said 'Good morning' to Bette Davis. She said, 'Oh shit, good manners,' and I never spoke to her again."
DeleteWhat we really needed was saucers of milk for the gals.
Is she talking about your bed?
ReplyDeleteYou wise cracker you. You've been hanging around smart mouthed Steven too much.
DeleteWhat? What I do now? I seem to be in trouble before I even show up now! This is not the bumpy ride I was hoping for.
DeleteIf it's a bumpy ride you want, I'll give it to ya!
DeleteI know it was bumpy this afternoon. I tried to take a nap during my 15 minute break and above me the neighbors were getting it on.
ReplyDeleteI can take in the sounds, but it's when a headboard hits the wall that gets to me.
DeleteI rest my case
