Anne Baxter<br />
By: Beverly Washburn / Hollywood Memories<br />
decided this time to write about my<br />
I experience working on a show called<br />
"Zane Gray Theatre." It was hosted each week<br />
by Dick Powell.<br />
Each episode began with the firing of a gun and the words: "From out<br />
of the west, Dick Powell's Zane Gray Theatre." I had worked with Powell<br />
before on Four Star Playhouse so he was instrumental in my being cast<br />
in this show.<br />
This particular show occurred in the 1950's. It was an episode called<br />
"Star Over Texas" and starred Anne Baxter.<br />
That's me in the photo with her which was taken on the set. She was a<br />
lovely lady with a beautiful smile.<br />
As I mentioned, I had worked with Dick Powell earlier and although I<br />
didn't have any scenes with him, he was still on the set, so it was wonderful<br />
to see him again.<br />
Working with Anne Baxter was also a delight. She was just as sweet as<br />
I hoped she would be.<br />
Most of you will remember her from her famous role in "All About<br />
Eve," which she co-starred with Bette Davis. She had already won an<br />
Oscar for her supporting role in “The Razors Edge" in 1947.<br />
Often times in the movie business, a particular star will be set to play a<br />
role, and then something will happen and they will be replaced. Such was<br />

the case with "All About Eve."<br />
Jeanne Crain was supposed to<br />
play Eve, but had to be replaced<br />
when she discovered she was<br />
pregnant. Bette Davis replaced<br />
Claudette Colbert when she injured<br />
her back and was unable to film.<br />
In 1951 both actresses were<br />
nominated for “Best Actress”<br />
however, the studio wanted Baxter<br />
to agree to being nominated for<br />
Best Supporting Actress. The studio<br />
was afraid that each star would cancel each other out with the voters.<br />
Anne Baxter refused and the studio’s concerns were right. Judy Holiday<br />
won that year for "Born Yesterday."<br />
It was an honor and a thrill for me to work with such an accomplished<br />
actress.<br />
Until next time, remember: Blessed are those who can give without<br />
remembering and take without forgetting.<br />

If they stopped making post-it notes, my<br />
life would come to a screeching halt. I<br />
