Harlow was an actress who got along with everyone-with one exception: Wallace Beery. She had worked with Beery before in The Secret Six (1931) and the two had developed a dislike for each other that carried over into Dinner at Eight. Beery thought that Harlow wasn’t experienced enough as an actress and treated her rudely. Harlow found Beery gruff and boorish. Since the two were playing a husband and wife that can’t stand each other, the real-life feelings worked to the comic benefit of the characters. (x)

"Judy and I used to laugh all the time when we worked together so she used to be a very gay and gloriously funny girl ... i like to say that because everybody after her death is always calling me - some journalist - and say 'what a tragedy' but she usually brought joy to everybody, and in her early days was a glorious gay girl"

They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching… they’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know, and they’ll say, “Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…”
