About this listen
An authorized look at the life and career of Hollywood icon and Academy-Award Winning actress Anne Baxter.
Anne Baxter’s life was a vibrant tapestry of remarkable talent, personal resilience, and enduring legacy still relevant today even 40 years after her death. Born into a family of extraordinary creativity as the granddaughter of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Anne was destined to make her own enduring mark on the world.
Her journey into the spotlight began at just 13 years old. By the 1940s and '50s, she had become one of Hollywood’s most versatile actresses, delivering iconic performances in films like Guest in the House (1944), Yellow Sky (1948), The Razor’s Edge (1946), All About Eve (1950) and The Ten Commandments (1954). She also appeared in hit television series such as Batman, Ironside, Columbo, and Hotel. Alongside her career, she had three marriages, raised three daughters, and endured periods as a single working mother while juggling the demands of Hollywood. Her life swayed from heartbreak such as her miscarriage in the Australian bush to highs such as her triumphant return to Broadway in the 1970s to star in Applause, the musical adaptation of All About Eve.
All About Anne Baxter is the first authorized biography of Anne Baxter, enriched by insights and exclusive interviews with her daughters, friends, and colleagues. It paints an intimate portrait of a woman who mastered her craft, defied expectations, and left a timeless mark on the entertainment world. Lona Bailey explores her entire journey, providing a deeper and more comprehensive portrait of her as an artist, a mother, and a woman navigating fame, family, and the evolving entertainment industry. Anne’s story is sure to inspire a new generation of readers to appreciate her artistry and the barriers she broke for women in entertainment.©2026 Lona Bailey (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews
Thanks to Lona Bailey for writing All About Anne Baxter, an intimate portrait of the Academy-Award-winning actress forever remembered as the scheming Eve in the film classic, All About Eve. Two decades later, the compelling and versatile actress turned the tables to play the indomitable Margo Channing in the Broadway musical “Applause!” Weathering controversy and adversity, the adventurous life of this devoted mother of three is as gripping as any role Anne Baxter played on stage, screen or television during the Golden Age of Hollywood. (Kathryn Leigh Scott, television and film actress)
