At one time the older actress is mourning the fact that she has no life outside of her career. Soon her career will be over and she will be a different person, someone she nor anyone else knows. It was interesting so I decided to share.
She says,
Funny business, a woman's career. The things you drop on your way up the ladder, so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you go back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common - whether we like it or not - being a woman.
Sooner or later we've all got to work at it, no matter what other careers we've had or wanted... and, in the last analysis, nothing is any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed - and there he is. Without that, you're not woman. You're something with a French provincial office or a book full of clippings -
but you're not a woman...

Interesting quote. Probably would be less likely to be found in a modern film.
Betty Davis--talk about sensational! Great movie, and men are good, but I do think a woman needs the strength to stand alone. Heaven knows she will have to do just that at times in her life.
