Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Dramatic art in her opinion is knowing how to fill a sweater.
Bette Davis
Playing our parts. Yes, we all have to do that and from childhood on, I have found that my own character has been much harder to play worthily and far harder at times to comprehend than any of the roles I have portrayed.
