51, and have been an admirer of Baxter since I saw All About Eve in the 70s. Went on to I Confess, Walk on the Wild Side, Magnificent Ambersons, some war thing with Dana Andrews and Tyrone Power, and of course her side-splitting comedy The Ten Commandments. A beautiful, refined woman with a unique persona. In her few appearances in the TV series Hotel, she made all the rest of the cast look like amateurs (which they were).
Did you know that she wasn't Hitchcock's original choice for Mme Grandfort in I Confess, and that she "accepted the part even though I thought I wasn't pretty enough"? NOT PRETTY ENOUGH? (I do think an ash blond shade to her hair would have looked better than the very light blond.) -

I'm 48 and remember seeing her in the "Batman" series as a little kid and then "All About Eve" and "The Ten Commandments" on TV in the 1970s. I was visiting this section tonight really because I had never known before now that she was once married to John Hodiak. (sigh) He was so dreamy in "The Harvey Girls," one of my favorite classic musicals, and I had never known much about him before this, so that's how I'd found out about their marriage. Wow, the things you find out on IMDB!

I just watched All About Eve for the first time, and I thought she was absolutely fantastic! Bette Davis was great, but I thought Anne Baxter completely stole the show.
Is it just me, or does Kathleen Turner bare a striking resemblance of Ms. Baxter? Maybe it's just in the voice?
Would you f#ck me? I'd f#ck me!

Interesting such a variety of ages!.
I am 61 and I have always thought she is one of the best!. Remember her in The Razor's Edge, All About Eve, The Fighting Sullivans.and so many more unforgettable movies.
I am glad to know that young people recognizes Baxter's artistic kind.
