Comet Beauty shows the inside story of stage life and how an unknown girl rose to stardom. At the award ceremony of the Drama Awards named after the socialite Sera Sidons, the rookie Ava beat all the actresses and won the post-drama laurel. Everyone congratulates her. Amid the praises, some friends who were very close to Ava recalled the past...
Eight months ago, Ava, who aspired to be an actress, frequented the backstage of the theater. It was found that she saw Ava's good-looking, smart and compassionate face, and she was also an acting talent, so she introduced it to the popular star Margot. Ava becomes Margot's sidekick, serving the wayward celebrity all day long. At the same time, Ava devoted herself to study and made rapid progress. This was discovered by Margo, and she couldn't help but be wary. Despite this, Ava persevered. On the one hand, she tried to curry favor with the famous drama critic Edson to gain his support. On the other hand, she tried to get close to Mago's lover-director Bill, asking him to give more advice. Ge's jealousy, the latter made a lot of trouble. Karen was quite disgusted with Margo's waywardness and decided to teach her a lesson. On a snow trip by car, Karen deliberately let out all the gasoline in Margo's car. As a result, Margo couldn't make it to the theater on time and had to ask someone to perform. Ava took this opportunity to take the stage and tried her best to succeed in one fell swoop. She is not attracted by her beauty, but won the welcome of the audience with her sincere and natural acting skills. In contrast, the flashy and conceited Margot and the flamboyant Caswell pale in comparison... Finally, in the drama award competition named after the socialite Sara Sidons, Ava won the laurel. After the award ceremony, Ava returned to her residence and found a beautiful girl waiting for her with envious eyes, just like herself eight months ago.

All About Eve quotes

  • Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...

    Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

  • Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...

    Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.

    Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
