One More Bette Story:
Years after Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland made "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" together, they were invited to Warner Bros. for a tribute to its classic stars.
As often happens, the event was a catered banquet, held on a Warner Bros. soundstage - in fact, a soundstage that both ladies were very familiar with, with each actress having made some of her most famous movies on it.
Late in the evening, an "honor roll" of deceased Warner Bros. greats was called, and of course, many of the names on it were people Bette and Olivia had worked with in the glory days.
When it was over, Bette was all sentimental and teary-eyed. She turned to Olivia and gushed, "Oh, Livvie - what ghosts there are in this room!"
To which de Havilland tartly replied: "Yes, and wouldn't you just know we'd outlive them all!"
