Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are

It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.

I absolutely will not allow anyone to call me grandmother. They can call me Auntie Joan, Dee-Dee, Cho-Cho, anything but grandmother. It pushes a woman almost to the grave.

Well, we can skip childhood because I didn't have any. Not one goddam moment on the Good Ship Lollipop.

If you start watching the oldies, you're in trouble. I feel ancient if "Grand Hotel" or "The Bride Wore Red" comes on. I have a sneaking regard for "Mildred Pierce", but the others do nothing for me.

I think that the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser.

Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
