These later interviews are dizzying - she goes back and forth between entrancing and horrifying in milliseconds. But when she says, "they'd replace me in nothing flat," you realize that even after all these years, it's all driven by fear.
I like Joan, in small doses, but I do feel terribly, terribly sorry for that hairdresser...
I am so fascinated by this interview - her pausing for effect, waiting for applause - until the director comes on, it's Joan playing Joan to the hilt. I kept picturing Bette watching this.
"I need thee not" is my new favorite numpty/toady dismissal...
