Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star (TV Movie 2002) - Betsy Palmer as Self - Actress

Self - Actress : Oh, she was such a perfectionist - and so professional.
Self - Actress : She was tiny, you know. And she had a very large head with a small body that she had. I was shocked when I saw her. She was tiny, but, oh, she was mighty. She really was mighty.
Self - Actress : She had a pretty body and always carried clothes very, very well.
Self - Actress : When you're an actress, there are all these women who are lurking inside of you. I'm sure they carried over into her private life... I feel sorry for *any* child that grows up with a parent who is an actor. We are strange. We do come from another place.
Self - Actress : [referring to John Ireland] She certainly knew more about filmmaking than the Director. She usually had affairs with the men she worked with. She and Johnny were having this big romance. They'd call in the morning about seven o'clock and they'd say, you know, "Get yourself over here, we can't shoot them today, they've just been boozin' and ballin' too much." That's what got her through the night. That's okay.
Self - Actress : She was a leading lady til the end of her life. And it's too bad that in this business that they don't appreciate that somebody can be older and know even more than they were when they were younger. But, you're supposed to look pretty, I guess, all the way to the grave. And it ain't necessarily so.
