Eve Arden

Eve Arden was an American actress born on April 30, 1908. She performed in leading and supporting roles over nearly six decades. In the latter part of her career, she played the sardonic but engaging title character of a high school teacher in Our Miss Brooks, and the school principal in Grease and Grease 2. Her parents divorced when she was a child and she was sent to a Catholic boarding school, and later attended Tamalpais High School, a public high school, until age 16. After leaving school, she joined a stock theater company. She made her film debut, under her real name, in the backstage musical Song of Love (1929). She played a wisecracking showgirl who becomes a rival to the film's star, singer Belle Baker. The film was one of Columbia Pictures' earliest successes. Her Broadway debut came in 1934, when she was cast in that year's Ziegfeld Follies revue. This was the first role in which she was credited as Eve Arden. Arden's film career began in earnest in 1937 when she appeared in the films Oh Doctor and Stage Door. Her Stage Door portrayal of a fast-talking, witty supporting character, gained Arden considerable notice and was to be a template for many of Arden's future roles. Her many memorable screen roles include a supporting role as Joan Crawford's wise-cracking friend in Mildred Pierce (1945) for which she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress, and James Stewart's wistful secretary in Otto Preminger's murder mystery, Anatomy of a Murder (1959). Arden was married to Ned Bergen from 1939-47, and to actor Brooks West from 1952 until his death in 1984 from a heart ailment. She and West had four children, all of whom survived their parents. On November 12, 1990, Arden died from colorectal cancer and heart disease at her home, 9066 St. Ives Drive, Los Angeles, California.
