Classic Movies Actresses Post #3: Bette Davis

[gypsygem81]

Ok, I know this one has been a long time coming, I've just been too busy with life and stuff. Also, with non-real life stuff (mainly BSG) and have neglected my classic movies posts. I'm sorry. But I'm back now. With none other than the classiest of classic movies actresses: Bette Davis. She was a bitch, lets get that clear, but she was made of awesome. Seriously.



Some of my favourite movies are:
>All About Eve
>Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
>Now Voyager
>Dark Victory

Quotes

Ok, I know there are a lot of quotes. That's because there are so many good ones, it was really hard to choose. There were still loads that I wanted to use, but that would just be getting silly. Seriously, she might have been a mean old cow, but she was so very smart and even wise, I believe. She was a seriously modern woman for her time.

I've not made many Bette icons, I know. I shall certainly try to rectify that probably over the summer holidays. This is a woman who cannot be iconed enough.

Wow, this is so lame. I've only ever made one Bette wallaper. I fail.

"On rare occasions when I was invited to go tea dancing at the Biltmore, I mae an effort not to be the economic ruin of my beau. I became known as a cheep date because I do adore potatoes. I could be happy anytime with potatoes. 'Spuds' became my nickname. Yes, I dearly love potatoes. Still do. I love them in any way, shape or form. I even love potato skins. Yummmm. If all other foods disappeared and there was a famine and they left me only potatoes, I could live forever. French fries are the ones I like the least because you really can't taste the potatoes as well. Mashed, hash-brown, potato pancakes. Oh, boy! Can you imagine, there are people who don't eat their potato skins! I could never get along with that kind of person. I get so angry when I make a beautiful crusty potato, and they just leave the skin."
