It was just a mention of a Bette Davis mannerism, not an attempt at one of her scripts, but I don't expect you to understand. Then again, you don't have to understand the director when you're a natural for the part. Just be yourself; it's highly entertaining.
Oh, but you might want to watch the self contradiction posts or at least spread them a bit farther apart so you don't confuse the viewers. We don't want everyone leaving the FReatre saying, "That was a good thread, but that nopardons is so intent on defense of and denial for Dubya that she many times makes no sense."
Okay, hon, pet, dear, pumpkin? Got it this time?
And whatever your day job is, pet, hon, dear, snookums, keep it, because you haven't an iota of an idea about movies ( Bette's or others ), scripts/plays, directors and directs, or anything else.
