ACTRESS!!!! SHE'S A FEMALE!!! ACTRIZ!!!

[@kathyyore309]

I love Eve Arden 💞 her dry humor was such a refreshing change from all the goody goody women characters

[@marygrummer9189]

I can still hear that voice. When she was in a scene, she was all you could look at. She was great!

[@cherylschantz9893]

Eve was wonderful! She was strong and beautiful. Her radio shows are still available online.

[@mh.4664]

Eve was an amazing actor and very quick witted. When she walked into a scene, you knew it was going to be good!

[@kyereCat]

Sorry. She was too glib.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Actress, not actor..

[@JudgeJulieLit]

@@kyereCat She was instantly intuitively keenly, satirically perceptive. She did usually play her characters as preprogrammed stock comedy figures, e.g., the straight shooting/talking straight (wo)man. But in real life her remarks could be uniquely morally serious, not "glib" -- as when (although a friend, as well as costar of Joan Crawford) she remarked wryly to an interviewer that Joan should never have tried to be a mother.

I am just old enough to remember sitting in front of a radio with my big brother and listening to Our Miss Brooks. Have never ceased being a fan, and my world stops when I happen to hear her voice in an old movie.

[@woobiefuntime]

You can still hear her on Sirius Xm . They have a station that plays old time radio shows

[@dudley5533]

Eve Arden was a one of a kind actress. A natural flair for comedy filled with wise cracking and come back quick one liners frequently a co-star as a side kick to many actresses and with actors like Jack Carson and SZ Cuddles Sacall For years enjoyed her on radio as Connie Brooks using her famous comedy routine with the elderly Mrs. .Davis. and others.

[@caraqueno]

Why do you and others completely ignore her major TELEVISION series, "Our Miss Brooks"? The television series was as, if not more popular than the radio series but it's being ignored by you and the narrator. This is how history gets rewritten with time.

[@dudley5533]

@@caraqueno I didn't ignore her TV series, I just never saw it. I worked many nights, plus when I was home, my wife and three kids preferred other shows to watch. I sure would have enjoyed it. Hoping I can find her TV shows on U-Tube to see what I missed.

[@caraqueno]

@@dudley5533 There are episodes of the tv series on KZbin but Me-TV runs "Our Miss Brooks" at 5:00 a.m., PDT/EDT. If you consider "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners" classic television, "Our Miss Brooks" has to be there. It was both the forerunner and model for the smart, sly, sophisticated sitcom, along the lines of "The Adventures of Dobie Gillis", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "Cheers", and "Frazier". I hope you enjoy it.

[@ianedwards4400]

Eve Arden's stock-in-trade was her sarcasm that made light of a potentially serious situations; She had a non-depletable coffer of one-liners. She was peerless at investing an often innocent sounding quip with the bluest of linings. I just had to spot her name in the cast of any movie and be sure I saw it. Often, she could carry an entire film on her shoulders. I just loved her to bits. She brought so much of sunshine and happiness into our lives. May her soul rest in peace !!!

[@caraqueno]

Why doesn't anyone mention her status as a TELEVISION star? She starred in the TV version of "Our Miss Brooks" and "The Mothers-In-Law".

[@guynorth3277]

It was mentioned.

[@dalehoward3704]

The 1st thing I remember from was in The Mother's In Law on TV. The last movie I believe she was in was Grease with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

[@alancrisp1582]

Eve Arden, along with Thelma Ritter. Were two of my favorite character actors. Arden always made me laugh 😂 what ever she appeared in. The last roll I can remember seeing her in was,the 1978 movie Grease ,and it's 1982 sequel.........

[@crazyelf3839]

Have you noticed Ms Arden somehow always played a part of someone in the educational system. I wonder IF that was her first "love"!

[@jajones-ford2226]

Eve Arden and Thelma Ritter were also two of my favorite actresses. Their wit and common sense always stood out in the roles they played. Both were very intelligent women who weren't afraid to speak their minds and they didn't let anyone push them around !

She was perfect in Mildred Pierce.

[@miapdx503]

Yes, an excellent film. It would not be the same without her.🌹

[@DavidWilliams-so2dy]

I love the scene where she stumbles then says “Ah…I’m slightly drunk.”

[@charlesjones4138]

Totally agree

[@ScottFoster482002]

I grew up watching "Our Miss Brooks".

[@Corielle6115]

I also grew up in Mill Valley and graduated from Tamalpais HIgh School, often referred to as Tam High. Many great actors came out of Mill Valley including Kathleen Quinlan, who I knew from Tam High and College of Marin. I should say I knew of Ms. Quinlan and I think we only had one conversation during our years at Tam High at the Work Experience Education office.

[@petersdotter1]

Tamalpias High School, (Tam-al-pious) north of San Francisco, has many talented and high profile alumni. The name is Native American for bay mountain, or the like. Arden's deep and expressive voice was well-suited to the strong, wise-cracking mature woman she always portrayed.

[@retrobilly1986]

Did I miss it or did you forget to mention that she was the school principal at Rydell High in the Grease movie.

[@rickmcdonald1557]

I think he mentioned it but it was part of a complicated sentence said quickly and I too was waiting through the whole video for him to mention that important part of the movie otherwise a person has to be really old (like me) to remember her before that~!

I’ll give you an Eve Arden type - Tony Curtis in ‘’Some Like it Hot’’.

I have read that Curtis expressly created that character as a mix of Eve Arden and his mother - so he must have done a good job showing that.

As a Bay Area native, I feel compelled to tell you that San Rafael is pronounced San Ruh-fell

"A mere gambling habit". Gambling is an addiction..it's hardly a minor reason to divorce. On the contrary, it's a major reason. Who wants to be married to someone who spends their money on an addiction? People like that are not dependable and selfish.

It's funny that you show Vincent Price with Eve Arden. I THINK she was a female Price, mannerism wise...

[@inolagranville7832]

I’ve asked before that is it a problem that you can’t have your pictures coordinate with your words? like when you were talking about Eve Arden husband couldn’t you have a picture of him so we know who you’re talking about? it’s not enjoyable to just see a bunch of pictures and saying oh if she went here or she went there, but you don’t see any pictures of that! I’m sure you can get a picture of a husband or the one she had an affair with so we could get a good idea of who you’re talking about.
