HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE BAXTER

“I’ll never forget this night as long as I live and I’ll never forget you for making it possible.” – Anne Baxter as Eve in “All About Eve”

Happy Birthday to Oscar winning actress, Anne Baxter on what would have been her 95th birthday.

Granddaughter of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Baxter’s first screen success was in Walter Lang’s “The Great Profile” (1940), followed by “The Magnificent Ambersons” (1942) and an Oscar winning performance in “The Razors Edge” (1946).  Contracted to FOX, she had leading roles in three early Marilyn movies: “All About Eve” (1950), “A Ticket To Tomahawk” (1950), and “O’Henry’s Full House” (1952).  Baxter was originally cast for a part in “Niagara” (1953), one of Marilyn’s first star vehicles, but pulled out of the project before filming began.

In her later career, she made a successful move into Television and worked consistently up until her death in 1986.

REMEMBERING MARLENE DIETRICH

Remembering the legendary and exquisite Marlene Dietrich, who passed away on 6th May in 1992. Marilyn and Marlene met in New York in 1955 but that wasn’t their only connection. Including going down in history as two of Hollywood’s most enduring faces, both women were famously photographed by Milton Greene, Marilyn dressed as Marlene for Richard Avedon and both had very similar gowns designed by Jean-Louis.
