[Anne Baxter...]

I don't have anything against Ms. Parker and in fact own some of her films. But since you pointed out the 20th Century Fox movie rights, I guess it sheds some logical light on why Anne hasn't been selected in all these years. Ms. Baxter did many independant films however that could be featured (Angel on my Shoulder being my fave) and of course they have AAE in their library (her most remembered and best known role).

 

I used to be pretty obsessed with Anne back in the day! Although I've matured and since moved on she is still my favorite classic actress and still probably her most devoted fan

[Suggesting a Star of the Month??]

Hi! Thanks for the welcome That sounds like a good idea and I did see the thread for Miss Darnell (another fave of mine!) I may petition for one for Anne. Anne is my favorite classic actress. I was literally obsessed with her when I was in my 20s. I collected photos and articles about her life, career, and even her death. She died so young and so suddenly and she just seemed so enigmatic. Even though I've moved on from my obsession she still fascinates and haunts me. I even had a Myspace page devoted to her back in the day I think she is beautiful, talented, and very underrated. My favorite movie she did was 'Angel on My Shoulder' in 1946. That one co-starred Paul Muni (one of my favorite actors) and I would love to see her honored as a SOTM. It could introduce her to many new fans. Sadly, she has been passed over many times since her death. I did some research, and after she passed in 1985, she was omitted from the 1986 Academy Awards Tribute (which deeply upset her family) and it seems to be ongoing to this day

One of my all time favorites! I stated this in another thread, but I think that she is extremely underrated, and often gets passed over by classic movie fans. TCM as far as I know has NEVER had her as a 'Star of the Month' and has instead devoted months to many, many lesser known classic movie stars (Eleanor Parker? Really?!) I had to vent regarding this.

[Suggesting a Star of the Month??]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there is any way to suggest a 'Star of the Month' to TCM? I have been a longtime fan of actress Anne Baxter and I NEVER see her honored or remembered by any classic movie buffs other than as 'Eve' in 'All About Eve', despite the fact that she was an acamdemy award winner and had a lengthy, distinguished career in many hit movies. As far as I know, TCM has never had her as a Star of the Month ever in its 20+ year history. Eleanor Parker who starred in lesser known films is their May 2013 Star of the Month??? Poor Anne has been passed up and overlooked for WAY too long!!!
