"I detest cheap sentiment." -- Margo Channing
Bette Davis, Celeste Holm, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter and writer/director Joseph Mankiewicz -- Hollywood's greatest talents wrapped up like a present. What a wonderful film.
Of the major cast members, only Celeste Holm is still with us, at age 94.

@MrThesheenster She and Tallulah have alot of the same qualities. Both outspoken, drank a ton, smoked a ton, great actresses to say nothing of their similiar looks! I love them both!!1

@KiddVid What great remarks! I always felt it was a SIN that she did not win the award that year, losing to Judy Holliday in "Born Yesterday", a fun film and Judy was fresh and perhaps her biggest role up until that time, but it really does not compare to "All About Eve", or her to Bette Davis. Say what you want about any talented artist, everyone is great, but there will never be an actor of her caliber, temperament, character and qualities. She is the archetype of all there are.
"I can't believe Bette Davis was denied her third Oscar for this! She wuz robbed!"
We were all robbed. Bette Davis made us know life's deepest secrets, without our having to strain our brains. She made things clear and obvious, to even us dolts who don't give mush thought to such matters. She did this with little (and often no) dialogue. She could tell a whole story with just a sideways glance.
