The Real Eve

Apparently, the idea of "All About Eve" was inspired by a book--a book about two real life actresses who lived a life much like Eve and Margo Channing. Elizabeth Bergner and Martina Lawrence were the models for these two characters and the film explores the differences and similarities between them and the movie.

This is a very interesting but cringe-worthy special feature on the companion disc for "All About Eve". I say cringe-worthy because it really becomes painful late in the film when they discuss and play actual footage from a meeting done in recent years between the two 'ladies' discussed in this film. But watch out--like a real cat fight, it's not a pretty sight! Ouch!
