I would have loved to have met her. Had a drink and cigarette with her. Talk about what kept her from being bored. This collection of her memos and perhaps this video are the next best things.
Her autobiography, "DV," was a delight to read, probably because she was never particularly constrained with concerns about separating fact from fiction. -Aaron
I remember two funny bits from a piece I read about her years ago:
Asked what she thought of Hitler: "Oh--that moustache...!"
Discussing her makeup with a friend: DV - "Do you think it's enough?" FRIEND - "Actually I think it's way too much." DV - "Yes I know. But is it ENOUGH?"
