don't remember movie, but the incomparable Bette Davis...

teasing a guy she just met-- "I'd let you kiss me, but I just washed my hair."

writers wrote and she know how to deliver 'em

From 'All About Eve'.. "fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy night"

to George Sanders as he enters the party, "I distinctly remember, Addison, marking you off my guest list. What are you doing here?"

but my favorite of hers in one she delivered in real life.. a director wanted her to do a better acting job in a scene and insisted she put more into it for the sake of 'art'. she replied, in reference to her salary, "art costs more"

she also had the embroidered pillow on her sofa "old age is not for sissies"
