"Miss Hayward was very unkind to me on the set of Where Love Has Gone [1964]...I didn't know until later that she had been called 'The Poor Man's Bette Davis.'" - Bette Davis
I've heard 'ol Bette tore her wig off and threw it at Hayward on the set, screeching "Why don't you play BOTH parts?" Whereupon Susan walked off the set, muttering under her breath. Shouted Bette:"What was that, Miss Hayward?" Susie's reply: "I said BITCH! And that's what you are--an old bitch!"
AtStirred, Straight Up, with a Twist, it helps to remember that it is permanently 1962 (give or take a decade); and that the problems of the real world can be solved with a touch of glamour and a dash of style.
Thanks for visiting, have fun, and please feel free to add your wit and sparkle to the proceedings!
