Elaine Stritch, who will return to the Cafe Carlyle next month for an encore engagement of Elaine Stritch Singin' Sondheim. . . One Song At A Time, will be the special guest at the March 23 screening of the film classic "All About Eve" at Manhattan's Ziegfeld Theatre.

Part of Turner Classic Movies' "Road to Hollywood Tour," the screening is scheduled for 7:30 PM. Robert Osborne will host the evening.

"Anne Baxter stars as a young actress determined to weasel her way into the world of top Broadway actress Margo Channing, played with gusto by Bette Davis," according to TCM. Celeste Holme, Thelma Ritter, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Marilyn Monroe and George Sanders also star in the comedy-drama by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.

Stritch received Tony and Emmy Awards for Elaine Stritch at Liberty, which traces a stellar career that boasts roles in Company, The Little Foxes, Bus Stop, A Delicate Balance, Sail Away and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Ziegfeld Theatre is located in Manhattan at 141 West 54th Street. For more information visit www.tcm.com/2010/roadtohollywood/newyork.
