• Bette Davis : How did it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the world?

  Joan Crawford : It was wonderful. The most joyous thing you could ever imagine and it was never enough. And what about you? How did it feel to be the most talented girl in the world?

  Bette Davis : Great. And it was never enough.

• Joan Crawford : Oh, you're giving me a hand-up? Because you're the superior talent. Well, I don't want your help. You've always been overrated.

  Bette Davis : I guess that explains my 11 Oscar nominations.

  Joan Crawford : The Academy doesn't reward you for your talent, for Christ's sake, Bette, they reward you because they see how hard you sweat. They don't see the character, they see the acting.

  Bette Davis : And they don't see you at all because of all your glamour makeup.

  Joan Crawford : Well, let me give you a tip: The answer to feeling unattractive isn't to make yourself even uglier.

• Bette Davis : I can't believe you let her get away with that. You know I was right about the scene.

  Robert Aldrich : You know what, Bette? Being right doesn't mean shit if you're driving talent off the stage. You want to be a producer? Well, a producer gets results. You want to be a lion tamer? Great. Go tame the goddamn lion.
