Quotes

"My beautiful Grandmother -- Caroline Garlinghouse -- came from Pittsburgh -- my mother's mother. I never met her but I have followed many of her ideas -- through my mother -- And it has given me a warm spot in my heart for your city...My grandmother's brother, Fred Garlinghouse, lived in Pittsburgh, was an engineer and apparently worked for Jones & Laughlin."
- Writing in June 1984, in response to news of a planned retrospective of her films in Pittsburgh the following September; as quoted in "On Stage: Kate Hepburn, Richard Rauh and old Nixon" by Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (July 9, 2003)

I survived those three weeks with hardly a decent meal or anyone to help. I kept a brown paper bag in the wastebasket next to my bed. I ate all my meals in my bedroom during this time, so I could pitch the inedible food into it and not be rude to the cooks. This problem, though it had overtones of comedy, was not good for my health. All my film career I had envied Katharine Hepburn's high cheekbones and narrow face. Now I had them.
- Bette Davis, This 'n That (1987) by Davis, with Michael Herskowitz, p. 52
