If you ever want to do an interview where you share some of your wonderful stories about your mom, please let me know. I'm sure my readers would enjoy an inside look into Anne's wonderful life.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-82232955686605307302011-09-28T07:27:12.461-07:002011-09-28T07:27:12.461-07:00You did a lovely job on my mom, but please she spe...You did a lovely job on my mom, but please she spelled her name with an E . . .Anne Baxter. And my last name is GaLt, not Gait. I promise we've never changed it. Just thought you'd want to know. I was born in 1961 and my sister Maginel was born in 1963, not 1962 and 1964 as suggested. As a blogger and writer I know it is important to be accurate and I know there is a wealth of inaccurate information out there. Your tribute is greatly appreciated, Mom would be honored.

I haven't seen "The Luck of the Irish" but I enjoyed your review of it recently. <br /><br />Caftan Woman,<br />I appreciate your insight on "Blue Gardenia" and bringing up points I hadn't thought of. I also love catching old television shows where our favorite old stars show up in guest spots. We had a discussion going recently about Tallulah and Crawford's delightful guest spots on Lucy's shows. I love those. <br /><br />Venus,<br />I'll forgive you for not knowing Anne was a central presence in "All About Eve" since I'm such a fan of yours. ha ha I agree that theres a few roles where I've forgotten who starred in them even though their acting was beyond fantastic.<br /><br />I've been on holiday but I look forward to seeing your latest post. <br /><br />Simon,<br />Good luck on the LAMMY's! Thanks for stopping by. I'll be sure to check out your blog and please come back and visit here.<br /><br />Becks,<br />I love that Anne was FLW's granddaughter. It's sad that her 3rd husband didn't live to see their vision come to fruition regarding their Connecticut Estate in the Prairie Ranch Style. From what I've read, Ann kept the residence as her primary home up until her death and it's still in family. A friend visited Falling Water a few years ago and brought me back some amazing photo's he took while there. I'd love to see it one day.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed this one Becks. Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Excellent comments on Anne's career everyone. I'm glad it could start a fun discussion.<br /><br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-27351745304843093842011-05-08T21:14:52.233-07:002011-05-08T21:14:52.233-07:00Page, that clip with Yul Brynner is one of my favo...Page, that clip with Yul Brynner is one of my favorite scenes from the 10 Commandments. I know it is not at all a modern, feminist thing to say, but I would have thrown myself at Rameses' feet and let him drag me around! LOL!<br /><br />I had no idea Ann was Frank Lloyd Wright's granddaughter! What a family tree! He was the inspiration for one of my favorite books, The Fountainhead. <br /><br />If I had to pick one movie in which I think Ann gave her greatest performance, it would have to be The Razor's Edge. All About Eve was great as well, but for Ann to be able to eclipse Gene Tierney's presence in Razor's Edge showed just how good she was. I have to disagree a bit about one thing in your article -- I think Hitchcock's I Confess was an under-appreciated movie. It's quiet and totally character-driven, unlike most of Hitchcock's greats, but I loved it. Ann was overshadowed by Montgomery Clift simply because of the story's focus on him, but she was as good as always.<br /><br />Excellent article, Page!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-84338343018321333822011-05-08T11:53:29.509-07:002011-05-08T11:53:29.509-07:00I thought Ann was really an understated actress.

It seems like some actresses are like that, some play a part how they themselves would play it (Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer) injecting their own personality into the role, while others, such as Ann, melt into the role so well that you forget she's an actress and think she's an Egyptian princess luring Moses away or a pretty backstabber plotting Margo Channing's demise. She was a brilliant actress! Oh and by the way, I just posted a special post I thought you might like. It’s basically a reconstruction of C B ‘s lost film “Rough House Rosie”, and took me about a month to complete all the research. Also, how’s that Dolores post coming, I can’t wait! If it’s anything like you’ve allways done it should be wonderful! <br />Have fun, <br />VenusVenus Armidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132867638722687743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-36783085187374558832011-05-06T11:14:48.979-07:002011-05-06T11:14:48.979-07:00This noir fan finds too much about "Blue Gard...This noir fan finds too much about "Blue Gardenia" to enjoy to easily dismiss it. Nat Cole's appearance and singing of the title tune. The chemistry among the housemates. Always a treat to see Ann Sothern. Richard Conte wonderful and sexy as ever.<br /><br />If I had been in charge (pardon me, Mr. Lang) I would have had Raymond Burr play the cop and George Reeve play the heel, but that's just me.<br /><br />It is a treat to see co-stars Ann Baxter and Raymond Burr together again in the 70s when she guested on two episodes of "Ironside". They looked like they really enjoyed themselves.<br /><br />I appreciate your look at the career and life of Ann Baxter, who was always an intriguing screen presence.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-61496169190392912202011-05-06T11:09:35.108-07:002011-05-06T11:09:35.108-07:00Thank you for paying tribute to Anne.

She was a lovely woman; I just wrote about one of her 1948 films The Luck of the Irish, which unfortunately doesn't showcase her as well as it should.
