“I never wished I’d been a man. I always felt like a woman and wanted to be a woman. I wanted to be fulfilled professionally and personally, as a woman. There are some who might say I had penis envy, but I only had penis admiration.”

Bette Davis, Beverly Hills, 1988.

“I took this in the apartment of Miss Davis — as she was always addressed — the year after her stroke. When I arrived she knew exactly where she wanted to be photographed (in front of a portrait of herself), and had chosen her gown. She epitomized the true professionalism of a special generation of brilliant Hollywood stars.” — Terry O’Neill
