But as Margo s star is dimming, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) a young, ambitious ingenue, becomes her all-too-willing protege. Slowly, this dreamy-eyed kid spins a deceptively cunning web around Channing s inner-circle, including Margo s director boyfriend Bill Simpson (Gary Merrill), playwright Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife Karen (Celeste Holm) until she reaches her end goal – Margo s spotlight on Broadway!
