(7,540 posts)but it seemed to be "My mother said I should only speak good of the dead. Joan Crawford's dead. Good."
Davis was repeating an oft-used one-liner on Carson, which I also remember seeing.
FEUD seemed to be reinventing the quote by having Susan Sarandon say this to the person who informed her of Crawford's death on the phone as if her emotions were so complicated at the moment that "good" was the easiest thing to say, and she actually in that moment meant "Joan Crawford was ultimately good and that's all I can say right now," as opposed to the joke that she's happy about her death. Their fictional implication probably was that she was misunderstood or eventually reimagined it herself as a one-liner later.
It's similar to another book I read where Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake!" was not actually intended a careless slight, but taken out of context from a discussion how people were starving and bakeries were throwing out unsold cakes at night; the implication being that if they couldn't have bread, why couldn't they at least have any leftovers that might otherwise be considered "too good" for them. It was an interesting interpretation, but we'll never know.
But anyway. Roger Ailes is dead. Good.

That was a FOX specialty later debunked, yet they never ever let it disapear for long.
