Answer: 32

Margo tells Lloyd, "Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men."

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."

13. What is Eve's real name?

Answer: Gertrude Slescynski

Addison tracks down Eve's roots. Heartless "Eve Harrington" hasn't spoken to her parents in three years and they would like to know where she is.

14. How does Eve finally attempt to snag the starring role in Lloyd's new play?

Answer: By blackmailing Karen

Karen, trapped, agrees to play along. Eve first attempted to seduce Lloyd, but it backfired. He was not interested.

15. How does Eve actually win the role in Lloyd's new play?

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.
