The remarkable career of American actress Eve Arden (1908ndash;1990) is thoroughly chronicled from her earliest stage work in 1926 (under her given name Eunice Quedens) to her final television role in a 1987 episode of Falcon Crest. Included are detailed descriptions and critical commentaries of the actressrsquo;s 62 feature film appearances between 1929 and 1982; notably her Oscar-nominated performance as Joan Crawfordrsquo;s sardonic confidante in 1945rsquo;s Mildred Pierce. Complete coverage is provided of Eve Ardenrsquo;s work in the popular radio and television series Our Miss Brooks; and her later costarring stint with Kaye Ballard in the two-season TV sitcom The Mothers-in-Law. Also listed are her many other radio and television appearances; as well as her theatrical roles in such Broadway productions as Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 and Letrsquo;s Face It.

This IS the bookBy PandafilandaSimply hallucinating: very interesting research ladden with information. a splendidly wayward analysis. a challenging conclusion. I found it extremely useful for writing about severed heads (their images and their social. anthropological. iconic and symbolic meanings) in art. contemporary or other. Though the book is tightly packed. I enjoyed Kristevas sweeping speed in analysis and her flair in bringing in a wide spectrum of references --some of them quite unexpected though timely--on the subject. If you are interested in severed heads. this IS the book. or at least. start your reading list with it. But. hey! No gore here... just vintage Kristeva!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Illuminating read on a neglected area of art history - ...By Helize van VuurenIlluminating read on a neglected area of art history - by implication intimately linked to the authors earlier meditations on Powers of horror.0 of 4 people found the following review helpful. good investigationBy ElizabethI think this book obviously doesnt lack investigation and knowledge on the subject it deals with but unfortunately I think that the author fails in capturing the attention of the reader with too much art history and that. at least for me. makes it a bit dull and tiresome.
