Potent Quotables: Baby Jane Edition

The bitter rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis is legendary, as were their onset altercations during the filming of the cult classic, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Joan had this to say about her co-star:

"Bette and I work differently. Bette screams, and I knit. While she screamed, I knitted a scarf that stretched clear to Malibu!"

On the other hand, Bette said:

"The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?".

Oooh, can I play? How about(All Bette on Joan):

"I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire."

"She has slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie."

“I have always felt her greatest performance is Crawford being Crawford."

"You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good!"


And some with nothing against Joan:

"Gay Liberation? I ain't against it, it's just that there's nothing in it for me."

and last but not least:

"If you want a thing well done, get a couple of old broads to do it."

Long Live Bette!
