Bette Davis was a cool chick, but I wouldn't have wanted to cross her.
Of course, now I can at least peel her off and stick her in the corner. Of a letter anyway. Yup. She's got her own postage stamp. Bette has now entered the cool brigade with Superman, Elvis, Mickey Mouse and Marilyn Monroe.
Bette had an interesting look on life. Honest to the point of pissing off those around her. Chances are, most goody-two shoe, everything is coming up roses people wouldn't have gotten along with her. If you don't believe me, just take a look at some of her wisdom:
"An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring... I ought to know."
"Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world."
"I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business."
"I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back."
"I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year."
"When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch."
And my personal favorite:
"Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies."
Yes. I definitely think we need more bitches on postage stamps. Hopefully, I'll have my own one day.
Of course, apparently, I'm more of a Mae West than a Bette. Not surprised. I fucking love her.
