On May 9 Bette and Joan met in Hollywood to sign their contracts. Sitting at a table and posing for pictures, Bette managed to grab the best position. She sat in the far right chair, which meant that, when the photos’ captions were read from left to right, her name would be first. Joan, wise to this old trick, then stood up behind and to the left of Bette, ensuring that her name would be first in those shots.
