12. Who concocts the scheme that allows Eve to perform in Margo's place - and win instant critical acclaim?

Answer: Karen Richards

Bette Davis was a "witch" toward Celeste Holm (who played Karen), said Miss Holm years later. Joseph Mankiewicz, who directed as well as wrote "All About Eve", subtly got back at Davis by requesting Miss Holm do repeat takes of her "burst into laughing" scene near the end, because Davis said, in jealous admiration of Holm's technique, "How do you do that? I can't do that."

Answer: Margo decides she doesn't want to play it

Karen is stunned, and relieved, because she was ready to go along with Eve's blackmail to save her (Karen's) relationships with her husband, Bill and Margo. It would have destroyed them to reveal she had arranged for Eve to appear for critics as Margo's understudy.
