Bette Davis, Anne Baxter and George Sanders in “All About Eve” directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Established actress Margo Channing acts a mentor to aspiring actress Eve Harrington.
Barbara Stanwyck and several other actresses were mentioned in discussions for the Margo Channing role. Eventually Claudette Colbert was signed. Mankiewicz made a quick decision to put Anne Baxter in the role of Eve. However, Colbert suffered a back injury on the set of “Three Came Home” and she was replaced by Bette Davis.
George Sanders was signed to play Addison deWitt after Mankiewicz first considered Jose Ferrer.
