“Hi, I’m Kathi. I’m an Evaholic.” If you’re queer, you’ll know the source of my addiction. Like many of my LGBTQ friends, I’ve been a lifelong fan of the movie “All About Eve.” Some say the world is made up of beach lovers and mountain aficionados.
But, lovers of Oscar Wilde, camp, Bette Davis, and, of course, Thelma Ritter, know: there are Eve obsessives and, well, other people.
Seventy years ago, in October 1950, “All About Eve,” written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, premiered in New York City.
I love Old Hollywood. But even I have to admit that some of Tinseltown’s “classics” are as out of date as MySpace or your great-grandma’s girdle.
