Anne Baxter (May 7, 1923 – December 12, 1985) was an American actress best known for her work in Hollywood films, Broadway, and television during the mid‑20th century. Born on May 7, 1923, in Michigan City, Indiana, she was the granddaughter of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and began acting on Broadway at the age of 13, earning strong reviews that helped launch her career. She moved to Hollywood in the late 1930s and signed a long‑term contract with 20th Century Fox, going on to appear in notable films such as The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), The Razor’s Edge (1946), and The Ten Commandments (1956). For her supporting role as Sophie MacDonald in The Razor’s Edge, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as well as a Golden Globe, and she later earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress as Eve Harrington in Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s classic All About Eve (1950). Throughout her career she worked with major directors including Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, and Cecil B. DeMille, while also appearing regularly on stage and in television productions, including series such as East of Eden and Hotel. Anne Baxter died on December 12, 1985, in New York City at the age of 62, leaving behind a legacy as a gifted dramatic actress with a strong presence in both classic cinema and television.
