We all are plotting revenge, in some way, all the time. It’s just that some of us are more honest with ourselves about it… 😉

You have made black and white photos so appealing. Now I think I have developed a crush on them. They are so haunting. Too bad nowadays colored reels and pictures are so prevalent.

If you’re going to have a crush, this is a good one to have. I love black and white photos. (Well, the good ones. There’s some no-so-good out there.)

I’m sure the Crawford kiddies wouldn’t mind ‘Crazy Eyes’ Bette getting all slap happy with Mommie Dearest.

Thanks, Sheila.
On the set of “Baby Jane”…
Joan: “What was that all about? I think you just broke a tooth!”
Bette: “Only one? Damn. Robert, let’s do another take.”
Robert/Director: “Sure, Bette. We’ve still got two hours of daylight before we have to wrap.”
