Bette and Dick really enjoyed each other’s company. Her appearances on his show are just the best. She’s relaxed, funny and up for anything.

Well I didn’t have Bette Davis introducing Barry Manilow as her pianist on my bingo card for this interview.

She was the greatest actress of motion pictures.  Gloria Swanson was the greatest silent movie actress and Dick Cavett was the greatest talk show host there ever was.

Those women....Bette Davis, Tallulah Bankhead, Katherine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy Parker etc....they spoke the truth, they were tough cookies who did not suffer fools, were terrific actors and writers, lots of style and intelligence with wit.

I just loved the way Bette talked. Her turn of phrase, her cadence. I could listen to her forever.

Ahh, the perks of being 17: I could stay up as late as I wanted on a “school night.” I was a on a culture kick, so I never missed the Dick Cavett Show. On my one trip to NYC I was determined to sit in the audience of the Cavett show. Midtown Manhattan, 1 p.m. I arrive at the theater and query anyone in line with an extra ticket. 10 min. before showtime I score a seat. Bandleader Bobby Rosengarden is playing the intro theme. I’m finally going to see my favorite late-night talk show host! The moment I’ve been waiting for: announcer Fred Foy says, “Ladies and gentleman here’s STEVE ALLEN!” Missed opportunity: Cavett was on vacation :( There is a happy ending: five years later when Cavett moved to PBS I got a front-row seat as he interviewed legendary director George Cukor.
