MINI BIO:
Anne Revere played her share of hard-working and wise mothers, as well as sympathetic and sometimes sharp-tongued friends. She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal as Elizabeth Taylor's mother in National Velvet, and was nominated twice more for The Song of Bernadette (as Jennifer Jones' mother) and Gentleman's Agreement (as Gregory Peck's mother). After the release of A Place in the Sun (1951), her film career was stalled for almost 20 years due to the McCarthy blacklistings. Although she appeared on TV a handful of times during the 1960s, she would not return to films until 1970 with the release of Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970).

Anne Revere Quotes:
Phil Green: No, but this story is doomed before I start. What can I say about anti-Semitism that hasn't been said before?
Mrs. Green: Maybe it hasn't been said well enough. If it had, you wouldn't have had to explain it to Tommy right now.
[Mrs. Brown is talking with Velvet in the attic]
Mrs. Brown: We're alike. I, too, believe that everyone should have a chance at a breathtaking piece of folly once in his life. I was twenty when they said a woman couldn't swim the Channel. You're twelve; you think a horse of yours can win the Grand National. Your dream has come early; but remember, Velvet, it will have to last you all the rest of your life.
Phil Green: Funny thing, that girl, Mr. Minify's niece suggested the series on antisemitism. Funny.
Mrs. Green: You don't say? Why, women will be thinking next, Phil.
