Well, while it's amusing - and probably contains more than an element of truth to it - at the end of the day it's still a piece of forty year-old gossip.
So I'll bear it in mind if I ever come across further stories or tales that back it up.
But at this stage, I'm not yet ready to consider it holy gospel.
But, the thing is, this is not the only instance. (And, yes, the story was amusing. Most bitch-diva stories are highly amusing.) There are so many stories where she doesn't come off badly, including interviews and even her own 1970 musical showcase spectacle, "Raquel", where it's just lots of bad vibes. I don't really care. She's harmless and I do enjoy watching her and Tom Jones hump each other when they're sharing the stage (re: her special, "Raquel".) |

That's cool that you like her. Despite what myself and a handful of others have said about RW, really there shouldn't be any compulsion to stop liking somebody whom you really like because of outside pressure. If I was trying to get you to not like her, then I was wrong to do that. It's just that I don't particularly like the woman. I love Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and I KNOW that neither one of these ladies were even close to angels, particularly Crawford. I believe Christina Crawford's account, "Mommie Dearest", absolutely, yet I am still able to admire and enjoy and even like Joan Crawford. Nothing anybody can say would change my feelings about these 2 women. I enjoy liking them too much. And I like Guns 'n Roses and Chick Filet, and, as a gay man, I have been criticized for liking both ( as they have anti-gay sentiments) I don't care. I like GNR music a lot. Human nature is more complicated than these either/or premises. |

Human nature is more complicated than these either/or premises. I don't know much of the one and only indomitable and terrifying JC from her movies, as I have only seen a couple. I have seen more of Davis. How would you compare them as actresses Mr. D? Would you say Davis is more of a legend in the acting stakes, or was Crawford better? I know I couldn't have cared for Crawford as a person, yet I would have kowtowed before the feet of Davis. Apparently, when Michael Caine first met her, he said he was introduced to her by Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn. He said one of the first things she said to him was that he reminded her of a young Leslie Howard and that Howard had slept with all his leading ladies except her, because she didn't want just be another of his conquests. She then commented how she felt if things may have been different if she had. Caine then asked her if she would accompany him to dinner and Davis said I wasn't making a pass at you.  Caine said he felt that Davis was just feeling some sense of regret with what she was expressing.

Like I said, I'll certainly keep it in mind if I ever happen to come across other instances, but to be perfectly honest, it's not a high priority for me,
I can't help but feel it's history that best left dead and buried.

I think I've seen her in one TV show and perhaps two or three films.
The rest of my familiarity with her comes via her reputation of being a sex symbol - not her personality or temperament.

I know someone who was at a convention where Ingrid Pitt was walking towards Britt Ekland and the later ignored her so Pitt said to herself: "Rude bitch, I never liked her anyway."

That may be true enough, but my OP dragged us all back to 1972. |

Awww... The best potato salad I ever had was, I believe, German style, served hot with a vinegar & sugar dressing and green onions and, best of all, bacon! Yum! And on the 8th day, God created bacon... |

Her ingredients included, but may not have been limited to, potatoes, bacon, bacon fat, onions, egg yolks, fresh cream and butter.
She made a special version for my mate's wife when she was pregnant with her first child. No onion...

Both the citrus and the sugar help with a bit of preservative as well. It's just 3/4 cup oil, I use rice bran, 1 whole egg, citrus juice, sugar and a bit of salt if so desired and all blended together with a stick blender. Takes 30secs. |

I like potatoes salad made with salad dressing. Not made with mayonnaise. |
