The entertainment industry has generated lots of entertaining quotes. Today, for my Day of Rest blog, and for your amusement, here are a few of my favorites.

  • Dorothy Lamour

“I have more talent in my smallest fart than you have in your entire body.”

  • Walter Matthau, to Barbara Streisand, during the filming of “Hello, Dolly!”

 

***

 

“Honey, kissing you is like kissing the side of a beer bottle.”

  • Laurence Harvey, to Capucine, during the filming of “Walk on the Wild Side”

“I could eat a can of celluloid and puke a better movie.”

  • Kim Novak in “The Mirror Crack'd”

“Darling, do you have change for a five-dollar bill?”

  • Tallulah Bankhead, in need of toilet paper, to the woman in the next toilet stall

“I'm sorry – I didn't catch your name.”
