Features All About Eve
The 1950 drama film All About Eve was written and directed by Joseph L.
Mankiewicz and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck. The film stars Bette Davis
as Margo Channing, a highly regarded but aging Broadway star. Anne
Baxter plays Eve Harrington, an ambitious young fan who insinuates
herself into Channing's life, ultimately threatening Channing's career
and her personal relationships. George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh
Marlowe, Barbara Bates, Gary Merrill, Thelma Ritter, and Marilyn
Monroe also appear.
Praised by critics at the time of its release, All About Eve received
14 Academy Awards nominations and was selected in 1990 for preservation
in the United States National Film Registry and was among the first 50
films to be registered. It also appeared at #16 on AFI's 1998
list of the 100 best American films
Join us at the Greenville Public Library on Thursday April 20th at 7
