Remembering Eve Arden on her birthday (born Eunice Mary Quedens, April 30, 1908 – November 12, 1990). Beginning her film career in 1929 and on Broadway in the early 1930s, Arden's first major role was in the RKO Radio Pictures drama Stage Door (1937) opposite Katharine Hepburn, followed by roles in the comedies Having Wonderful Time (1938) and the Marx Brothers' At the Circus (1939). Arden would go on to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Mildred Pierce

"My love of dialects and the off-beat character resulted in a [screen] test the crew found hilarious," Eve Arden said of her turn as a Russian guerrilla fighter in THE DOUGHGIRLS ('44). Surrounded by Warner Brothers all-stars, she stands out above the rest. #SummerUnderTheStars | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
