Bette Davis
At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis
You know what nostalgia is, don't you? It's basically a matter of recalling the fun without reliving the pain.
