Celeste Holm (1919-2012)







Celeste Holm quotes:
"I believe that if a man does a job as well as a woman, he should be paid as much."

"We live by encouragement and die without it - slowly, sadly, angrily."

[on Bette Davis] "I walked onto the set [of "All About Eve"] and there's Bette and I say 'Good Morning,' and she said, 'Oh, shit, good manners,' and I felt as if I'd been hit in the face with a wet flounder and I never spoke to her again."

"The trouble with putting armour on is that, while it protects you from pain, it also protects you from pleasure."

  1. Oh my! I hadn't heard. She certainly accomplished a lot in her 95 years both in the performing arts and in philanthropy. She was a Grand Dame in every sense. Rest in peace, Celeste, and may your star shine bright in heaven.
