Eunice Quedens had appeared in The Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway and a couple of movies before changing her name to Eve Arden and becoming Hollywood's favorite "second banana".

#BOTD in 1907 Eve Arden steals every scene she’s in and “Mildred Pierce” (1945) is no exception. As Joan Crawford’s BFF she tries to warn the waitress-turned-restaurateur about her selfish daughter (Ann Blyth.) Mildred’s husband (Zachary Scott) is killed, so who did it? Warner Bros. #FilmNoir

#BornOnThisDay The delightfully harboiled Eve Arden (1908-1990) was absolutely the best thing in a bunch of already great movies, including Mildred Pierce (1945), The Unfaithful, The Arnelo Affair (both 1947), Whiplash (1948) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959). And, of course, Grease (1978) 😁

Happy 42nd anniversary to one of the most stylish Vampire movies of all time, with it's exquisite 80's aesthetic, and it's bravery for presenting the sensuality of Lesbian love making, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon, the visually stunning "The Hunger" 🖤🦇⚰️🩸🪦💋

Happy Birthday to actress & singer Ann-Margret, born Ann-Margret Olsson on April 28, 1941, in Valsjöbyn, Krokom Municipality, Jämtland County, Sweden! Fave films include: Viva Las Vegas (1964), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Carnal Knowledge (1971), Tommy (1975), and 52 Pick-Up (1986). More: alt text.

The Sweden-born actress, singer, dancer and jaw-dropping beauty -- for me one of the most beautiful women on the planet -- has had a career spanning seven decades. Her many screen roles include Pocketful of Miracles (1961), State Fair (1962), Bye Bye Birdie (1963), Viva Las Vegas (1964), Carnal Knowledge (1971), The Train Robbers (1973), Tommy (1975), The Return of the Soldier (1982), 52 Pick-Up (1986), Newsies (1992), Grumpy Old Men (1993), Any Given Sunday (1999), Taxi (2004), and Going in Style (2017). Her accolades include five Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy Award in addition to two Academy Award nominations and two Grammy nominations.

As a singer, she's released a dozen or more albums, beginning in the 1960s with 'And Here She Is ... Ann-Margret' (1961). Her Sixties albums also include: 'Beauty and the Beard' (1964) (with Al Hirt),
'Songs from The Swinger (and Other Swingin' Songs)' (1966) and (my fave), 'The Cowboy and the Lady' (1969) (with Lee Hazlewood).

She released 'Born to be Wild,' her first classic-rock album, in 2023.

$In 1970, she starred in C.C. and Company with Joe Namath as a biker and her portraying a fashion journalist. A keen motorcyclist, Ann-Margret rode a 500 cc Triumph T100C Tiger in The Swinger (1966) and used the same model, fitted with a nonstandard electric starter, in her stage show and her TV specials. She was featured in Triumph Motorcycles' official advertisements in the 1960s. She suffered three broken ribs and a fractured shoulder when she was thrown off a motorcycle in rural Minnesota in 2000.$ Recent TV appearances have included "Ray Donovan," the Showtime drama, and in 2018, she joined the second season of the Syfy series "Happy!" That same year, she also guest-starred in the Netflix series, "The Kominsky Method," playing "Diane," a widow and possible love interest for the recently widowed "Norman," played by Alan Arkin.
