The varied feelings expressed?from wistfulness and regret, to thinly veiled anger or rage, to frank disillusionment?add an intriguingly personal dimension to our understanding of their lives off camera.
Moreover, the Bette Davis quote sounds like Bette Davis. And you can virtually hear the four Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes as they might, daffily, be uttered by her. In short, this post at once discloses not only what some of our "break-up" stars and other luminaries have had to say on the subject of divorce, but something core to their personalities (or personae), as well.
In any case, I hope you?ll enjoy the following selections:

My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise. ~ Christina Aguilera
