All About the Actress - Comet Beauty

Christy 2022-03-20 09:01:34

Unreal is more real than real. Margot, Eva, and Phoebe, one is a past star, one is a current star, and the other wants to be a star. Phoebe means the star's past, Eva means the star's present, and Margo means the star's future. In order to become famous, Eva did everything she could, from fans to assistants, from substitutes to protagonists, deceit, extortion, sexual bribes, and everything. In the end, she finally became famous, and she also had fans and substitutes. I don’t know when will also be replaced. The film features actress Bette Davis, who is second only to Katharine Hepburn in film history, and Anne Baxter, who starred in the Ten Commandments and Confessions. Surprisingly, this film also has Marilyn Monroe, who only plays a supporting role, but it is amazing enough. This movie is destined to be constantly mentioned, it is ahead of its time, it is never out of date. It's a movie from 1950, and it's not out of date now.

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?
