I love classic films......All About Eve was a wonderful movie, starring Bette Davis....Bette was an Aries born April 5, the same day (different years of course) as my daughter Sami....This film still holds the record for number of women nominated for academy awards....It had some of the most memorable lines of all times....It was one of the greatest ensemble films and some of the finest work of Bette Davis.
