Eve Arden was the best of the best when it came to character actresses working during the classic film and television era. Making a film and need to cast a no-nonsense, sassy, sardonic, witty and capable gal pal or secretary? Then Eve Arden’s your girl! She was perfect at playing such characters. Even if her role in a film was small, Eve still managed to make her character believable and ensure that her time on screen was memorable.

I first encountered Eve when I watched Grease(1978). I thought she was hilarious as Principal McGee, the headteacher at Sandy and Danny’s school. Incidentally this film was also my first intro to Pre-Code era legend Joan Blondell. I thought Eve was great in this and wanted to see more of her work. Thus began my journey of discovering the talents of one of the greatest character actresses of the classic film era.

The next film of Eve’s that I saw was Anatomy Of A Murder(1959), which was the one that ensured I became a fan. She inhabits the character of Maida so well and perfectly conveys the history and bond she ha

Eve Arden

American actress (1908–1990)

Eve Arden (born Eunice Mary Quedens, April 30, 1908 – November 12, 1990) was an American film, radio, stage and television actress. She performed in leading and supporting roles for nearly six decades.

Beginning her film career in 1929 and on Broadway in the early 1930s, Arden's first major role was in the RKO Radio Pictures drama Stage Door (1937) opposite Katharine Hepburn, followed by roles in the comedies Having Wonderful Time (1938) and At the Circus (1939). She received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Mildred Pierce (1945).

Somewhat surprisingly for an actress of Arden's refinement and wit, she appeared to good effect in a number of films noir, some exceptionally high-profile, including Mildred Pierce, The Unfaithful (1947), The Arnelo Affair (1947), Whiplash (1948), and Anatomy of a Murder (1959).

Later in her career, Arden moved to television, playing a sardonic but engaging high school teacher in Our Miss Brooks, for which she won the first Primetime Emmy

Eve Arden was born Eunice Mary Quedens in Mill Valley, California (near San Francisco), and was interested in show business from an early age. At 16, she made her stage debut after quitting school to join a stock company. After appearing in minor roles in two films under her real name, Eunice Quedens, she found that the stage offered her the same minor roles. By the mid 30s, one of these minor roles would attract notice as a comedy sketch in the stage play "Ziegfeld Follies".

By that time, she had changed her name to Eve Arden, which she adopted while looking over some cosmetics and spotting the names "Evening in Paris" and "Elizabeth Arden". In 1937, she garnered some attention with a small role in Oh, Doctor (1937), which led to her being cast in a minor role in the film Stage Door (1937). By the time the film was finished, her part had expanded into the wise-cracking, fast-talking friend to the lead. She would play virtually the character for most of her career.

While her sophisticated wise-cracking would never make her the lead, she would be a
