All About Eve Screening
Joseph Mankiewicz’s classic 1950 film about the brilliant, backstabbing world of the theater was nominated for 14 Oscars and won 6. All About Eve has some of the best dialogue ever committed to screen, a star turn by Bette Davis as grande dame Margo Channing, as well as brilliant supporting work from Thelma Ritter as her cynical dresser and George Sanders as a razor-witted drama critic. Look for a memorable cameo from a young and lovely Marilyn Monroe.
Demonstrate. On International Women’s Day, March 8th, women and our allies will act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and all gender-oppressed people, through a one-day demonstration of economic solidarity.
