[Of a starlet:] There goes the famous good time that was had by all.

The line is a characteristically barbed Bette Davis put‑down, framed as a mock-compliment. By calling a young actress “the famous good time that was had by all,” Davis reduces the “starlet” to a social event—something consumed and talked about—rather than an artist or person. The joke hinges on turning an abstract phrase (“a good time was had by all”) into a concrete identity, implying notoriety built on parties, publicity, and sexualized celebrity rather than talent. It also reflects Davis’s reputation for cutting, epigrammatic remarks about Hollywood’s manufactured glamour and the disposable nature of fame.
