Joan Crawford (top left) and Bette Davis (right, with cigarette) at a reading rehearsal for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

“One day I was given 20 minues to shoot [the Baby Jane reading rehearsal] from the catwalk above. At the time, Crawford was married to the president of Pepsi-Cola. A Pepsi bottle was next to her at all times, and she occasionally sipped from it. Without even looking upward, she sensed my movements on the catwalk - and while reading her lines, she would deftly move the bottle & its logo so that none of the other actors would obscure it in my shots.

In this shot, Crawford and Davis seem quite affable. They each had a portable dressing room. Crawford wanted certain adjustments made. She wanted a ledge for her social secretary to put papers on, and an air-conditioner. She also wanted several other things. She had the men take care of it. As they left Crawford’s dressing room with their tools, Davis just stood a few feet away watching. One of the grips said, ‘Hey Bette, anything we can do for you?’ She said, ‘No, thank you. Dressing rooms don’t make pictures.’

After the wrap each evening, Crawford would leave the sound stage followed by her entourage: hairdresser, makeup man, costumer, social secretary. Davis just left with Davis.”

“1. Make sure you enjoy writing.
Writers always like to say how hard the writing process is and how much suffering it causes. They’re lying. People don’t like to admit they make a living from something they genuinely enjoy.”

- The first of Etgar Keret’s ten rules for writers echoes Ray Bradbury’s insistence on writing with joy. For more timeless advice on writing, see writing rules by:

Neil Gaiman

Zadie Smith

Kurt Vonnegut

John Steinbeck

David Ogilvy

Henry Miller

Jack Kerouack

Susan Sontag

I love you and I always will. Come back to me as soon as you can. -Richard Burton

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get—only with what you are expecting to give—which is everything. -Katharine Hepburn

I think marriage is dangerous. The idea of two people trying to possess each other is wrong. I don’t think the flare of love lasts. Your mind rather than your emotions must answer for the success of matrimony. It must be friendship—a calm companionship which can last through the years. -Carole Lombard

He gave me my life. I wouldn’t have had a — I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t met him — I would have had a completely different kind of life. He changed me, he gave me everything. And he was an extraordinary man. -Lauren Bacall
