It’s important not only what exactly Dean said Taylor, but also how she understood it – it’s known that Dean loved to mock people, and could not only make an evil joke, but also simply say something abstract, which Taylor interpreted and imagined in a certain way. But Eartha Kitt, in her “Alone with Me” biography (and also, apparently, in “Confessions of a Sex Kitten”, but I can't find or read that one) writes that Dean called her every night from the set of Giant and complained about poor working conditions, including Taylor’s and Hudson's “surface” play – “two of the weakest actors in the business”. Here the question already arises - how much did Dean trust Taylor that he suddenly told her what he had never told anyone? Could he trust the person, who he called as the “weakest” actor? Maybe he actually hated her and secretly mocked her, but she didn’t understand it - after all, he was a much better actor than her.
