All About Eve gets a 75th anniversary screening at the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard this Sunday, March 2, at 11:00 am. The Oscar-winning ‘dramedy’ first opened at the nearby Chinese Theatre in November 1950, following its New York premiere a month earlier. Although Marilyn didn’t attend, among those present were leading ladies Bette Davis and Anne Baxter, and producer Darryl F. Zanuck, plus celebrity guests Greer Garson, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, and Van Heflin.
“From Cady Heron and Regina George to Tai Frasier and Cher Horowitz, we all love a good frenemy movie, and it doesn’t get any better than All About Eve. Bette Davis plays Margo Channing, a famous but fading actress who hires Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), a shy fan girl, to be her assistant. Little does she know that Eve is planning on stealing her career – and her relationship. It’s seriously sassy and dramatic, with some fantastic female characters – remaining the only film in Oscars history to receive four female acting nominations. Sit back and enjoy the show because, as Margo Channing would say: ‘it’s going to be a bumpy night.'”
