Yesterday

when Bette Davis knocked over a large cement flower planter from a second story balcony and crushed both her and Joseph Cotton’s skulls in “Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte”.

Olivia played some very juicy rolls towards the end of her career; must have been sick to death playing demure parts all the time.
