1 I understand the reasons for deletion of the previous version of this page.
2 I appreciate the need for verifying quotes (from Dorothy Parker or otherwise).
I have heard the following attributed to Parker:
One Martini, I'm able;
Or two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table.
After four, under my host. 01 March 2009 - 2035z 81.157.223.75 20:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Here's a risqué one
I've heard this attributed to Dorothy Parker on many occasions, but haven't been able to find a very reliable source. (Probably because newspapers won't print it in full.)
| “ | Too fucking busy. And vice versa. | ” |
This is allegedly a telegram she sent in reply to her editor, reminding her of a deadline, while on her honeymoon. Does anyone have a reliable source for it? Moxfyre 17:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] A to B
I added the Cinema Arts reference because I just came across the 1937 article, which added substantiation to the quote. I wasn't registered when I added it. Perhaps the reference should be included outside of the Woolcott section. Danchall 5 May 2010
[edit] "What Fresh Hell Is This?"
I have often heard it claimed that this was how Dorthy Parker responded to a ringing telephone. It is also the name of a biography of her."Dorothy Parker: What Fresh Hell Is This?" Can anyone source this quotation? MisterJayEm 15:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
