When asked what advice she had to give to young actors trying to succeed in Hollywood, Lauren Bacall said, "Take Fountain."

Man, I had to look that up on the internet. I thought "Fountain" might be some kind of cool 1940s drug. Turns out it's a street. By the way, who was it that called Hollywood "a tour through a sewer in a glass-bottomed boat"? Now, that's a quote!
Sorry, Mike. I had considered giving the designation of st. or ave. or whatever, but I don't think it's what Bacall said, and it loses some punch that way. I love her cheek. Just another nice Jewish girl with a good wit.
Fountain would be a great drug name if it were psychoactive, or just bliss producing.
I don't know who said that, but when I Googled it, it came up as "a man on a tour through a sewer..." but it was on one of those subscription article sites, so I could not discover it. Rats. I found no other complete offerings.
And how hot is Betty in that photo?? Sometimes she can look almosst a touch mannish, but there? Phew...
She is some sexy. It's a great quote, which the Wedding Present recently stole for the title of an album. Did I mention that she is some sexy? Because she is. She is some sexy.
Was it not "Baby" that told Barbara Walters "I pity you" in an interview because Walters expressed the ides that the world held a large grey area? I love that. "Pity you" she said. Maybe it was Hepburn. They don't make em like that anymore do they? Not many.
I think I've said too much already. A girl can't lay down all her cards at once. Good thing my deck goes higher than 52. I wish I were a guy so I could pee anywhere I wanted while standing up. That's real power. I'd like to meet the following: My great-great grandparents, the N. Oklahoma ones, not the Swiss gentry. My woebegone friendship with Adam G. The man who's going to be with me till we're retired to the porch swing sucking on glycerine tablets, and who still reads to me at night, while I rub his feet. My ambitions with commitment and discipline. The characters from old David Lee Roth videos. Hot carb on carb action. That fucker who keeps trying to take the bbq, in a dark alley, satan's minions, lilliputians, nigglers, pifflers, piddlers, snake-oil peddlers, cripples, do-gooders, truth-seekers, sweethearts, wandering minstrels, interlopers, robber barons, saints, sinners, people who snort and guffaw, holler and whoop, tender tender people with good hearts, and all my fat little babies. I like BUTTER! And Vitamin Z!
