“Our And My” Ms. Eve Arden, So Classy And Talented

Though I really never watched the television show, “Our Miss Brooks,” for which she gained acclaim, I am a big admirer of Eve Arden’s work.

The television show “The Mothers In Law,” was on this past weekend as the “Decades Binge” and all these years later, I was again reminded of why I first began to like Eve Arden.

In between, Arden’s roles in Mildred Pierce, (Joan Crawford won an Academy Award as “Mildred”) for which she was nominated for a best supporting actress Academy Award as “Mildred’s” friend, “Ida” and “Anatomy of a Murder,” whose cast included Eve’s husband Brooks West, gave me a more enlightened, yet similar view of Eve Arden’s great talent.

Cementing my views, I happened to see Eve as the mystery guest on “What’s My Line” airing on Buzzer T.V.

So classy, she used a horn type device beeping once for yes and twice for no to hide her distinctive voice. Nothing, however, could hide her class and talent which always shines through.
