Possibly Interesting Facts About Anne Baxter
1. Anne Baxter was born in Michigan City, Indiana in 1923.
2. Anne Baxter was the daughter of a salesman and his wife, Catherine, who herself was the daughter of Frank Lloyd Wright, the world-renowned architect.
3. At age 10, Anne Baxter attended a Broadway play starring Helen Hayes, and was so impressed that she declared to her family that she wanted to become an actress.
4. In 1939, she was cast as Katherine Hepburn‘s little sister in the play The Philadelphia Story, but Hepburn did not like Baxter’s acting style and she was replaced during the show’s pre-Broadway run. Rather than giving up, she turned to Hollywood. In Hollywood, she screen test for the lead role in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca…..but Hitch thought she was too young.
5. All About Eve Trivia: (1) Was initially cast in All About Eve (1950) because of her resemblance to Claudette Colbert. Miss Colbert was first signed (she was later replaced by Bette Davis) for the role of Margo and the idea was to have Eve visually turn into Margo. (2) While Bette Davis and Anne were both the stars of All About Eve (1950), it was thought that they would both stand a better chance at Oscar trophies if Anne were to be placed in the “Supporting Actress” category, thus avoiding each canceling the other out. Anne refused to be put in the supporting category. (3) Sure enough, both actresses were nominated for “Best Actress” Oscars and both lost to Judy Holliday in Born Yesterday (1950).
6. Anne Baxter was good friends with legendary costume designer Edith Head. Head was godmother to one of Baxter’s daughters.
7. Anne Baxter starred in five Oscar® Best Picture nominees: The Pied Piper (1942), The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), The Razor’s Edge (1946), All About Eve (1950) and The Ten Commandments (1956). All About Eve won.
8. Anne Baxter was married three times and had three children. Her first marriage was to actor and co-star, John Hodiak.
9. “Oh, Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool!”, one of her lines in The Ten Commandments (1956), was included among the 400 quotes nominated for the American Film Institute’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes list.
10. Check out Anne Baxter’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
I believe Anne is the only actor to play 2 villains on Adam West’s Batman, Olga, Queen of Odessa and Zelda. I have never seen an episode of Hotel that she starred in.

Hey Dan….good information on Anne Baxter….sorry it took awhile to comment back. As always….lots of good trivia here.
“Oh, Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool.” No prizes for guessing which Anne Baxter film that line was from.
I liked her as Nefretiri (changed from the original ‘Nefretiti’ in case kids started tittering during screenings of DeMille’s epic) very vampish and sexy.
Looking at the chart I’ve only seen 5 of these – The Ten Commandments, All About Eve, Crash Dive, Cimarron and I Confess, probably more.
Looking at the grosses – The Ten Commandments has an adjusted gross of over a billion dollars and that’s just in North America. That is impressive.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
p.s. your no.5 trivia is a bit of a mess and needs editing, you’ve got Claudette Colbert losing to Judy Holliday at the Oscars.
Hey Steve
1. What only 5 Anne Baxter movies watched? I thought you were a movie fan! You gotta have the stellar tally count of 6 like me and Pierre…..so disappointing….lol.
2. I figured you would like her famous quote from The Ten Hestons…..and yes it was a monster hit everywhere.
3. Just went home for lunch to fix the error in #5…..yeah ….it made no sense what so ever…but it does now….I copied and pasted the same thing twice…bad Cogerson bad Cogerson…lol.
Thanks for the kind words, the visit, the comment and the tally count…..which is currently being lead by Lupino’s 28 and Flora’s 16.
Good feedback as always.
Hello Bruce,
What a great actress , i think i just see six of her films but i love very much two films
ALL ABOUT EVE and THE TEN COMMANDEMENTS;
In EVE she is the boss and she get the best part, for me.
Bette Davis in front of her even she speak about the belt in a car somewhere not over the rainbow, she is not the lead.
I think there is some others stars in front of Bette Davis who where the boss
Mary Astor in the Great Lie
Myriam Hopkins it was a terrible battle between the two ladies in two films
And Crawford because she was a star long time before Davis, at the end of the muet!!!
THE TEN COMMANDEMENTS because she plaid so well the poison to save Heston against Brynner and her costums were so beautiful like Colbert in Cleopatra
After i saw her in TV , in Columbo for instance but TV series are not films
To morrow holidays for a week
Bye
Pierre
Hey Pierre. Thanks for checking out our latest page. Your tally of 6 has you currently tied for third place. Glad you like her as an actress. Thanks for the mini-reviews of her movies. Greatly appreciated. Hope you have an awesome holiday.
Hello Bruce,
Not so far from USA, I am in PUNTA CANA,
Sunny, hot but WINDY like in Normandie but not as the same degrees
See you
Pierre
Hey Pierre….sounds like an awesome holiday….hope the winds die down some. You are so correct, the Dominican Republic is not far from Florida at all. Thanks for the update.
Another request by Lupino done in a whirlwind…Thanks to Team Cogerson!
As I said in my original request, Anne Baxter is not among my alltime favorite actresses, but I do like many of her performances and many of the movies she starred in. I have seen 28 of the movies mentioned, though it took me a while to understand that Season of Passion is just another title for the film I have seen named Summer of the Seventh Doll, a Hill-Hecht-Lancaster Production that, according to my knowledge at least, originally was to have starred Rita Hayworth in the Anne Baxter role, “flanked” by Burt and James Cagney. The movie is ok, but not among my favs- but I found it’s story interesting enough to share it here.
My favorite Baxter performances were her Eve in All about Eve, and as much as I love Bette in it, the original thought of making Eve physically changing into a younger Margo sounds really thrilling! The Razor’s Edge, Sunday Dinner for a Soldier with husband to be John Hodiak, The Walls of Jericho, Guest in the House, The Blue Gardenia, Swamp Water (remade only a few years later in Technicolor starring Jean Peters) and The Pied Piper are other favourites. Since I love british classics, Chase a Crooked Shadow is very high on my personal list, too. As Flora recently stated, any Hitchcock movie is worth mentioning, so my two cents on her performance in I Confess are that there was absolutely no chemistry between Miss Baxter and Montgomery Clift.
Two boxoffice results surprised me: One Desire, with already big Rock Hudson staying under 60 million, and Carnival Story, which I never would have expected to be one of her “100 million plus” movies.
Some more trivia:
Anne Baxter was originally slated for the Jean Peters part in Niagara, and only after Baxter opted out, the script was reworked to highlight Monroe’s part.
Miss Baxter revisited All about Eve when she took over the role of Margo in the Broadway production of Applause, its musical reworking, from original star Lauren Bacall. She also replaced Bette Davis after her stroke in TV’s Hotel.
In the trivia section of her imdb page I found the following quote which I find very interesting and perhaps is the reason why Miss Baxter, while certainly a gifted enough actress, never became a true “screen personality”, the kind that is remembered by people like us today:
“I’m an actress, not a personality. It’s more successful to be a personality. But can you use it in every role? I don’t spill over into everything I do. I do what I do from inside someone else’s skin.”
Hey Lupino. Yep you asked and now she has a page. The power of Lupino….but remember, with great power comes great responsibility….lol.
Awesome comment on Anne Baxter. Entertaining and educational. You have the tally count lead. You 28, Flora 16 with the rest of us in the 5,6 range.
Sounds like I need to see Sunday Dinner for a Soldier….your high marks plus Joel has it listed as one of his 4 star performances. Season of Passion had lots of changes…it did not get released in the USA until 1962.
Glad we included Chase a Crooked Shadow….it was one of the last movies added….as I did not realize it was a Warner Brothers movie and in my WB ledger notes until late in the process of doing this page.
