Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.
I hope I get to work with Ms. Meryl Streep. She's so brilliant, great, and gracious an actress and person. I would love to work with her.
Betty White is a riot. She is a good time! That is the bottom line: Betty White is a good time. She is really an incredible woman. She is so kind. She doesn't have one mean bone in her body, and she is the funniest woman in the room always. And you'll never hear one complaint from her.
My idol when I was a kid was Elizabeth Taylor.
I've had the honor and the pleasure and gift of having known Elizabeth Taylor for a number of years. You know, you sit down with her, she slings hash, she sits there and cusses like a sailor, and she's hilarious.
Meryl Streep is exactly as awesome as you would imagine Meryl Streep to be.
Jessica Lange is my all-time favorite actress.
I just loved Bette Davis and the fact that I had a chance to work with her [on the 1979 TV movie Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter] was momentous.
To be playing Joan Crawford is as good as it gets.
Rita Hayworth in Gilda... there's not a shot of her in that movie that isn't gorgeous.
My favourite actress is Meryl Streep. Oh, and Anna Magnani.
Madhuri Dixit is too good. She is too good. That's why she's Madhuri Dixit.
Frances Conroy - brilliant, brilliant actress.
I always think of Meryl [Streep] for everything now. There really aren't many actresses around who are truly lucid the way she is.
Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
I never worked with Marilyn Monroe, but if she'd lived, I think she would have been all right. She would have been President of the United States.
I would love to have the honor to get to work with Meryl Streep. I love her and I love her work.
Let's be clear about one thing: a film about Katharine Hepburn is an excellent idea. She was one of the most fascinating, complex stars ever to grace a motion picture screen, and she deserves a full-scale, big-screen biographical treatment.
Meryl Streep belongs on anybody's list of greats.
I have worked with Divya Dutta in two National Award-winning Punjabi films. I have known her a long time; she is a fantastic actress. I sent her flowers after I saw 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.' Shabana Ji is, of course, a legendary actress. It was a great experience working with her.
Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it's wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons and that's what I believe as well.
Elizabeth Taylor. In her heyday, she was amazing.
Carol Burnett, who played Miss Hannigan in 'Annie', is as funny as it gets.
I'd really love to dress Lauren Bacall. She's incredibly interesting - a gorgeous, stylish woman with a strong personality.
Forget horror icon, Kety Bates is an icon. She's an acting icon. I was raised on so many of her films, everything from Misery to Fried Green Tomatoes to Delores Claiborne, all films that I've watched multiple times and been inspired by.
