Who is Anne Baxter?

Anne Baxter was an American actress whose acting career spanned almost five decades in which she acted on the stage, the big screen and television. Instead of forcing her for higher studies, Anne’s family allowed her to pursue her passion for acting. She was under contract with ‘20th Century Fox’ for the longest time of her acting career but was never given importance by the company as there were other great actresses in the studio payroll like Linda Darnell, Gene Tierney and Jeanne Crain. Even though she was an exceptional actress she was used by ‘Fox’ in the game of ‘give-and-take’ with other studios. Her versatility allowed her to handle different kinds of roles very easily under different kinds of circumstances which made it easier for ‘Fox’ to loan her to other studios like ‘Paramount’, Universal’ and others to make successful films. Even though she was acclaimed to be one of the acting greats, her stint with ‘20th Century Fox’ was sometimes not very happy. Her whole acting career went through many downward slides but she was fortunate enough to come out with flying colors at the end.
