Movie Trivia Answer to Question #5 and New Question (#6)


The character of Margo Channing, a tempermental Broadway star played by Bette Davis, said, "Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night," in the 1950 hit movie All About Eve.

Bette Davis claimed for years that she did not base her performance on Tallulah Bankhead, a real-life temperamental Broadway star. Davis attributed her hoarseness in the film – reminiscent of Tallulah's throaty speaking voice – to shouting matches at home with her soon-to-be ex-husband (she eventually married her All About Eve co-star, Gary Merrill). Bankhead didn't buy it. She sarcastically referred to the movie as, "All About Me" and famously said, "After all the nice things I've said about that hag (Davis). When I get hold of her, I'll tear out every hair of her mustache."

Ouch. And you thought Davis and Crawford had a feud.

Anyway, the scores. Reon and Janie received both the regular and bonus points for correctly naming the film, as well as the character. Shelia named the movie and gets the regular point. So that brings us to:

Patricia – 5 OGGS
Shelia – 4 OGGS
Reon, Janie – 2 OGGS
Gwyneth, Patsy – 1 OGGS

(That stands for Oscar/Golden Globe/Screen Actor's Guild, folks).

And now for today's quote:

"I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

Name the film this quote came from for 1 point. Earn a bonus point if you can correctly state the character name (hint: It's not a vegetable, mineral, or even a person!) to whom this remark was directed.

Answer to the post, plus all guesses, will be published tomorrow at around noon Central Time. You can try your hand at a correct answer right up to the time I post the answer. Good luck!

The film was Gone with the Wind and Dorrothy said it to her dog Toto.
