Frankly, My Dear Quips And Quotes from Hollywood

[back cover] "'King of Hollywood'? If Clark Gable had an inch less he be called 'Queen of Hollywood'." CAROLE LOMBARD (his wife) "She's the original good time that was had by all." BETTE DAVIS (on Marilyn Monroe) "Peter O'Toole looks like he is walking around just to save funeral expenses." JOHN HUSTON "There's nothing I wouldn't do for Bing, and there's nothing he wouldn't do for me. And that's the way we go through life doing nothing for each other."

ANTHONY NEWLY (former husband) [front flap] "Hollywood has no more notion of telling a story than a blind puppy has of composing a symphony." GEORGE BERNARD SHAW In a rollicking and comprehensive collection of the funniest, sharpest, most acerbic and insulting lines ever uttered by the wits in the movie industry, Frankly, My Dear snaps the clapperboard, shouts "Action!" and presents a collection of classic quotes from the stars, directors, writers, and commentators who populate the larger-than-life world of Hollywood. With sound bites from the earliest Hollywood legends to today's superstars, Frankly, My Dear documents scathing and unscrupulous witticisms, riotous declarations of greed, talent, pomposity, and hubris, presenting incisive perspectives on the glamour and the glitz of Boulevard life. In short, Frankly, My Dear demonstrates that in an industry where it pays to keep your mouth open, legends are made off the screen as well as on it. Starring: W. C. Fields, Louis B. Mayer, Groucho Marx, Bette Davis, Alfred Hitchcock, Mae West, Woody Allen, Tallulah Bankhead, and many, many more! "You need to be a bit of a bastard to be a star."
