Margo Channing is a star of the theater. She made her first stage appearance at the age of four in Midsummer Night’s Dream. She played a fairy and entered, quite unexpectedly, stark naked. She has been a star ever since. Margo is a great star, a true star. She never was or will be anything less or anything else.

— Show me a human, and I might have.

“Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night”
dont let her get lonely…
’”All About Eve’ is a movie that demands your attention, your admiration, even. It’s one of the Oscar’s most celebrated films, which is interesting when you consider that its largest action sequence is Bette Davis running down a stairway.”
