And I wasn't commending her for it. I think her dating was fine, because she doesn't strike me as monogamous, so I don't know why she'd be in a relationship that called for that. It seems she tended towards relationships meant to self-destruct, like one of those Mission Impossible tapes.

No, she doesn't like being alone. I guess it's good she can always afford an entourage.

I was reading an excerpt from Rupert Everett's book in Vogue and he said in the eighties when he was broke, he was living with someone who lived next door to Bette Davis and he would look through the window and see Bette toothless, listless in houserobe and slippers and no wig on, watching her own movies (Rupert said A Stolen Life) on tv. If his story is true, that certainly put an indelible image of Bette's last years in my head.

Stevie is going to always have her assistant or photographer or someone living with her along with her dog and the whole gang of them will be sitting there watching old videos together, when she's 90.
