I had no idea. This might seem minuscule but it’s a fascinating part of movie history

She never stopped talking about on those old talk shows like Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas and in interviews in the TV Guide.

I didn’t know either.

I also didn’t realize she was so young when she died. Only 62.

Not only did I know that, I wrote a book about it!

My friend’s cousin who is a stylist to ALL the big names in cuticle art restoration said that Andy Warhol settled a long-time feud and pushed Anne Baxter to the curb, and STOLE her cab in 1985 - Killing Anne when she was vulnerable during a stroke.

Yes, I did know that. I forget how I found out, but it was about 20 years ago.

We have talked about it on here before. I remember remarking that it must have been very inconvenient for him, the way she chewed the furniture.

I just heard an episode of a vintage radio show ("An American Gallery") today which was a bio of FLW, and it was hosted by .... Anne Baxter! The big reveal at the end was that she was his granddaughter. Henry Fonda played Wright.

I'm still laughing about Judy Doody

by Anonymousreply 34May 10, 2025 10:41 PM

I did know that. But I only remembered that Wright had a famous actress granddaughter - just not famous enough that I could ever remember which one.
