Anne Baxter was an American actress who had extensive film, television, and stage career over five decades. This list discusses her career. She received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for The Razor's Edge (1946) for portraying a bereaved woman who suffers from alcoholism. Perhaps her best known roles are as an ambitious understudy in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950) and an Egyptian princess in DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956). As always I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 19:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "she also appeared in Fritz Lang-directed film noir" => "she also appeared in the Fritz Lang-directed film noir"
- "as Egyptian princess Nefretiri in Cecil B. DeMille-directed" => "as Egyptian princess Nefretiri in the Cecil B. DeMille-directed"
- My only other comment is that it doesn't say which episodes of Batman she was in - is this information not available? Theoretically it could currently be interpreted that she was in all of them......

- @ChrisTheDude: Thanks for your review. Hopefully the above is resolved now, have amended lead and added in episode titles.Cowlibob (talk) 10:57, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from zmbro
- "in film, television and on the stage." I think just "on stage" would be better (so there's not just one stage)
- "at the age of 13 on the stage in the Broadway play" same here
- "Two years later Baxter" → "Two years later, Baxter"
- Why no note for the Hotel TV series?
Rest looks good. Great job to you! – zmbro (talk) 04:02, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Zmbro: Thanks for your review. I think I've made amendments for the above. Cowlibob (talk) 16:03, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support – Good for me. Care to check out my current FLC? – zmbro (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Zmbro: I'll see if I can find some time later this week, it's a large list so may take me some time. Cowlibob (talk) 16:44, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from Lady Lotus
- In the tables, it should be Year then Title per WP:FILMOGRAPHY
- I'm not a fan of Networks being in television tables because they change or become outdated or don't apply to how people watch them, just seems excessive - WP:INDISCRIMINATE
- Same for the Directors column - for a single actors filmography, I just find the inclusion of Directors too much. If we include them, why not include the producers and writers and costars, etc. I have a whole conversation on this going on, trying to have something added to MoS to exclude that type of thing to actors filmography
- I would maybe suggest moving the Stage table below Film and Television? Seems like she's known more for her roles in films than theater
- "a ruthlessly ambitious understudy" - seems a bit peacockish. I would just remove "ruthlessly".
- I would remove the image restraints (ex: 200px) and add "upright=1" to all the images; add "upright=1.35" to the main image so it's a bit bigger than the rest.
- The certain rows with 3+ references, I would maybe put a break in the middle so the reference column isn't so big. Batman, The Name of the Game and Marcus Welby
Rest is very well referenced and looks good :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lady Lotus: Thanks for your review. I've think I've dealt with the above. I have removed both the director and network columns. On balance, director collaborations are probably better off dealt with in the lead than as a separate column. Cowlibob (talk) 15:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - great job on this article! :) I would agree with having directors in the lead, the ones that would be worth mentioning would work better there than everyone in a column. LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:50, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Source review – The reliability and formatting of the references both look okay, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. My only question would be whether a link was intended to be included in ref 120, but the source is verifiable without one so I don't consider it any sort of disqualifier. The source review is a pass.

- @Giants2008: Thanks for your source review, I've removed that ref as it actually gave no more information than the one present. Cowlibob (talk) 16:27, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
