As a fan of old movies, I often try to find reasons to quote Bette Davis’ line in All About Eve – “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”  Eve was my hero, but I felt the pain of her friend, Karen – played by Celeste Holm – who inadvertently betrayed her best friend and then was betrayed herself.  Celeste Holm later played Aunt Polly in an old favorite –  Tom Sawyer – with a young Jodie Foster playing Becky Thatcher.

I thought  Celeste Holm was dead.  Imagine my surprise to find she is embroiled in her own version of How Stella Got Her Groove Back - with her own bumpy ride.

Ms. Holm (hard for me to call her Celeste) is 94 and married to Frank, the wannabe opera singer and full-time caregiver, 48.  Of course, money is the issue; her sons are suing, but most of the money has gone to the lawyers, and everyone is unhappy and not talking to each other.
