(LANGUAGE WARNING)
1. John Wayne on Clark Gable: “Gable’s an idiot. You know why he’s an actor? It’s the only thing he’s smart enough to do.”
2. Tallulah Bankhead on Bette Davis: “Don’t think I don’t know who’s been spreading gossip about me. After all the nice things I’ve said about that hag. When I get hold of her, I’ll tear out every hair of her mustache!”
3. Joan Crawford on Bette Davis: “She has a cult, and what the hell is a cult except a gang of rebels without a cause. I have fans. There’s a big difference.”
4. Bette Davis on Joan Crawford: “I wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire.” 5. Sterling Hayden on Joan Crawford: “There’s is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money.”
6. Vivian Leigh on Bette Davis after turning down a role in HUSH…HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE: “I could just stand the thought of facing Joan Crawford at seven in the morning, but I couldn’t stand the thought of facing Bette Davis at that or any hour.”
7. Carol Lombard on Vivien Leigh: “That [snip] English bitch.”
8. Cary Grant on Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift and James Dean: “I have no rapport with the new idols of the screen, and that includes Marlon Brando and his style of Method acting. It certainly includes Montgomery Clift and that God-awful James Dean. Some producer should cast all three of them in the same movie and let them duke it out. When they’ve finished each other off, James Stewart, Spencer Tracy and I will return and start making real movies again like we used to.”
9. Bette Davis on Cary Grant: “He needed willowy or boyish girls like Katharine Hepburn to make him look what they now call macho. If I’d co-starred with Grant or if Crawford had, we’d have eaten him for breakfast.”
10. Christopher Plummer on Julie Andrews: “Working with her is like being hit over the head with a big Valentine’s Day card, every day.”
11. Mickey Rooney on Ernest Borgnine: “All the Oscars in the world can’t buy him dignity, class and talent. I don’t know why he is famous and why he is a star. Talk about a lucky jerk.”
12. Ernest Borgnine on Mickey Rooney: “I`ve got the Oscar, he`s got a therapist. Checkmate!”
13. Anthony Hopkins on Shirley MacLaine: “She was the most obnoxious actress I have ever worked with.”
14. Marlon Brando on James Dean: “Mr. Dean appears to be wearing my last year’s wardrobe and using my last year’s talent.”
15. Marlon Brando on Montgomery Clift : “He acts like he’s got a Mixmaster up his ass and doesn’t want anyone to know it.”
16. Richard Burton on Marlon Brando: “Marlon has yet to learn to speak. He should have been born two generations before and acted in silent films.”
17. Trevor Howard on Marlon Brando: “Unprofessional and absolutely ridiculous. He could drive a saint to hell in a dogsled.”
18. Dirk Bogarde on Monica Vitti: “I’ve fallen deeply in love with every woman I’ve ever worked with except Monica Vitti. She was a beast.”
19. Walter Mattheu to Barbra Streisand during an on set argument while making HELLO DOLLY!: “I have more talent in my farts than you have in your whole body.”
20. Fanny Brice on Esther Williams: “Wet, she’s a star. Dry, she ain’t.”
21. John Cassavetes on Ricardo Montalban: “Ricardo Montalban is to improvised acting what Mount Rushmore is to animation.”
22. Oliver Reed on Jack Nicolson: “Nicholson? As far as I’m concerned, he’s a balding midget. He stands five-foot-seven, you know. He tries to play heavies and doesn’t quite make it.”
23. Sophia Loren on Gina Lollobrigida: “Gina’s personality is limited. She is good playing a peasant but is incapable of playing a lady.”
24. Jane Fonda on Laurence Harvey: “Acting opposite Harvey is like acting by yourself. Only worse!”
25. Richard Harris on Michael Caine: “An over-fat, flatulent, 62-year-old windbag. A master of inconsequence masquerading as a guru, passing off his vast limitations as pious virtues.”
26. Frank Sinatra on Shelley Winters: “A bowlegged b***h of a Brooklyn blonde.”
27. Shelley Winters on Frank Sinatra: “A skinny, no-talent, stupid, Hoboken bastard.”
28. John Gielgud on Ingrid Bergman: “Ingrid Bergman speaks five languages and can’t act in any of them.”
29. William Holden on Humphrey Bogart: “I hated the bastard.”
30. Humphrey Bogart on William Holden: “A dumb pr**k.”
Groucho Marx to brother Chico:
“I have a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.”
About Chico:
“There were three things my brother was always on — a phone, a horse, or a broad.”
I LOL'ed on that one.
What happened to #5?
i have always wondered why we admire people for doing incredibly stupid things likemheavy drinking. why rinking a lot of poison, ‘holding your drink’, is a defining act of manliness. it’s damn idiotic. especially when drinking actually then goes and kills the guy. what the hell is so admirable about that?
It’s on there, just accidentally neglected to put a space.
Oscar Levant on Dorris Day, “I knew her before she was a virgin.”
John Wayne in “The Conqueror.”

I agree with Cary Grant (#8) on James Dean. He has to be the most over rated actor of all time.
Camelot made me love him forever. He was brilliant.
“...and that God-awful James Dean.”
I always thought he was vastly overrated. That’s heresy among libs, however.
True!
“Mr. Kiel revealed in a 2002 autobiography, “Making It Big in the Movies,” that he suffered from a fear of heights. He admitted that he had battled alcoholism and was able to stop drinking as a born-again Christian.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/12/arts/richard-kiel-dies-at-74-played-jaws-in-bond-films.html?_r=0
The first one disappoints me but the rest are liberals dissing each other and confirming the idea that show business is like high school with money.
OOoooo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo... dangerous remark
I’m one of John Wayne’s biggest fans, but the Duke admitted in an interview that his halting manner of speaking or hesitation in speaking was due to him taking the time to recall his lines.
And Marilyn Monroe said that Gable’s dentures caused him to have really bad breath. She hated smooching scenes with him.
Actors. Except for Marion Francis and a few others, who needs ‘em?
Marion Francis= Marion Robert Morrison
It always helps your legacy when you die young.
Think Marilyn Monroe.
So hacked emails aren’t new, eh?
Was selected to go to Japan per WWII with an all-star team, not because of his talent but because he spoke Japanese and the oss wanted him to gather information. He took pictures of Tokyo that were later used to plan the Doolittle raid.
Read “the catcher was a spy”.
“Bette Davis on Joan Crawford: “I wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire.””
I wish these Hollywood types would come out and say what they mean.
