She also appeared in hit television series such as Batman, Ironside, Columbo, and Hotel. Alongside her career, she had three marriages, raised three daughters, and endured periods as a single working mother while juggling the demands of Hollywood. Her life swayed from heartbreak such as her miscarriage in the Australian bush to highs such as her triumphant return to Broadway in the 1970s to star in Applause, the musical adaptation of All About Eve.

Commentaires

Thanks to Lona Bailey for writing All About Anne Baxter, an intimate portrait of the Academy-Award-winning actress forever remembered as the scheming Eve in the film classic, All About Eve. Two decades later, the compelling and versatile actress turned the tables to play the indomitable Margo Channing in the Broadway musical “Applause!” Weathering controversy and adversity, the adventurous life of this devoted mother of three is as gripping as any role Anne Baxter played on stage, screen or television during the Golden Age of Hollywood. (Kathryn Leigh Scott, television and film actress)
Bailey offers a loving portrait of a remarkable woman ... This book offers many new and interesting details ... This biography fills an important gap in film history ... [I]t's a good new source for readers.
