The Giphy is taken from the film ‘All About Eve‘ with Bette Davis. It is about a forty-year old actress who is being sabotaged by a younger rival. This role did not cramp her style at all. Isn’t she gorgeous and not old or over the hill except maybe by Hollywood standards.

I’d bet she was nervous about taking the role, considering the attitude in Hollywood though. She did pull it off beautifully!

I thought the screenplay and original short story were very insightful. I read she was 42 when she played this role. I am sure she was well aware of ageism in Hollywood, especially toward women. She always impressed me as very strong and I think she fought to be independent of the studio system of the time. Thank you, Linda. 🙂
