Trivia and QuotesQuotes advertisementCharlotte Lovell: She thinks I can`t understand her. She considers me an old maid.
Delia Lovell Ralston: My dear.
Charlotte Lovell: A ridiculous, narrow-minded old maid. What else can she ever think of me?
Delia Lovell Ralston: Poor Charlotte.
Charlotte Lovell: Oh, but you needn`t pity me. Because she`s really mine. If she considers me an old maid, it`s because I`ve deliberately made myself one in her eyes. I`ve done it from the beginning so she wouldn`t have the least suspicion. I`ve practised everything I`ve ever had to say to her, if it was important, so that I`d sound like an old maid aunt talking. Not her mother.
Delia Lovell Ralston: Well, after all, darling, there isn`t anything important to say to her now. She has every attribute of a modern successful woman - she`s healthy, she`s young, she`s gay, she`s attractive...Trivia To get the effects of aging, Bette Davis didn`t wear any eye makeup or lipstick, and makeup artist Perc Westmore used a pale, ashen base on her face. The 1935 Pulitzer Prize-winning play opened at the Empire Theatre in New York on Jan. 7, 1935 and ran for 305 performances. The leads were played by Judith Anderson and Helen Menken. Marjorie Lord, who later gained fame as the wife of Danny Thomas on TV`s "Make Room for Daddy" (1953), was a replacement cast member in a supporting role. Producer-Director Ernst Lubitsch bought the rights to the play, intending to star both Judith Anderson and Helen Menken in a Paramount production, but he sold the rights to Warner Bros. in Jan. 1939. Humphrey Bogart was originally cast as the male lead, but dismissed after four days` filming. | ||
