Broadway star Margo Channing, played to perfection here by Tallulah Bankhead, is at the top of her game and has successful collaborations with her husband, playwright Lloyd Richards and close friend, director Bill Sampson.

Enter centre stage, Eve Harrington, a manipulative minx that uses and abuses the lives of Margo and her friends to fulfil her ambitions of theatre stardom. As she manoeuvres her way into taking over Margo's part in the current Broadway hit, only a cynical theatre critic sees through her sweet, naïve veneer of being Margo's greatest fan.

He writes that Margo is ageing none too gracefully which contributes to Eve winning an important role in a forthcoming production that was intended for Margo.

Not to quibble, because Tallulah Bankhead is fabulous here as Margo Channing, but ithe short description from Audible states that the narration is by the original from the movie, the at least equally fabulous Bette Davis. Since Tallulah is not Bette Davis, this should probably be corrected. She is hilarious, but still ... wrong person. The longer description does have it right. The (shorter) Bette Davis version can be found elsewhere on Audible.
