In 1982 I worked for my uncle in Monroe, CT pumping gas at his Texaco station. I remember my uncle making a big deal about Ms. Baxter when she'd come in. Very nice lady - I'm sorry that I didn't get to appreciate her work until after she passed. Just watched The Blue Gardinia last night.

You're lucky PeterPizzazz!! I knew Miss Baxter through fan mail. I would write her and she would send me beautiful signed photos, dedicated to me. Back in 1971, I saw her on Broadway in APPLAUSE, the musical based on All About Eve.
And wasn't The Blue Gardenia great?! One of my favorites, foll5b4owed by One Desire. -

You people are lucky to have been able to correspond with her and I am a bit envious. I just "discovered" her after watching "All About Eve" for the first time this year and now I am a huge fan of her's and have been watching every film she is in that comes on cable. I was very sad to find out that she passed away and how it happened.
Oddly, the first thing I ever saw her in was the 60's Batman series where she played in a couple of episodes. Back then, i was just a little kid and didn't know Anne Baxter, Vincent Price, Burgess Meridith and others on the show were huge stars in their time. Imagine my surprise though when I learned that Anne was the lady who played "Zelda the Great" on Batmanlol
Beautiful lady and a great actress who I thought added a little bit of "edginess" but also grace to her characters. -

Yes Anne Baxter was always worth watching whatever the part. Her performance in "All About Eve" was a standout and though it was overshadowed by Bette Davis and the others, her cool, calm, collected performance is at the centre of the storm.
