Joseph L. Mankiewicz writes and directs this classic award-winning
drama starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. Eve Harrington (Baxter)
is famous actress Margo Channing (Davis)'s biggest fan. When, by
chance, she gets to meet the great lady, she quickly ingratiates
herself into her life. Before long, however, she has become a
bitter rival, stealing Margo's Broadway role and causing turmoil in
her personal life. George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill and
Thelma Ritter co-star with Marilyn Monroe making an early film
appearance. Both Davis and Baxter received Oscar nominations for
their roles with the film winning six awards including Best
Picture, Director, Screenplay and Supporting Actor (Sanders).
This book has been a heart warming journey as I have recalled
various childhood experiences with many family members. John L.
Stephens and Clara Polley Stephens raised a respectful family of
eleven children, eight daughters and three sons. The ancestors and
descendants of their children are recorded in the pages of this
book. I have attempted to record as accurately as possible the
information give by family members. Some information I was unable
to obtain and therefore left blank. Favorite recipes of the
families were submitted for the enjoyment of those who like to
cook. Recipes also include those like Snow Ice Cream, Home Made
Hominy and Home Made Soap just for fun. I encourage you to pick out
some of the recipes and try them. I hope this book inspires you to
continue recording your own family history as your individual
family grows and adds several more generations to the family.

6-movie collection of Hitchcock classics features.
North By Northwest:
North By Northwest is a suspense thriller that finds Cary Grant in the role of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan advertising executive mistaken for a spy. Considered by many to be the prototypical pure action movie (creating the template for later James Bond and Indiana Jones films), the film is a cross-country roller-coaster ride with Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. The film is duly famous for several classic and indelible scenes, including the desert biplane encounter and the Mt. Rushmore climax.
The Wrong Man:
Hitchcock movie starring Henry Fonda and Vera Miles. Manny Ballestero is an honest hardworking musician at New York's Stork Club. When his wife needs money for dental treatment, Manny goes to the local insurance office to borrow on her policy. Employees at the office mistake him for a hold-up man who robbed them the year before and the police are called. The film tells the true story of what happened to Manny and his family.
Dial M For Murder:
Classic Hitchcock movie starring Grace Kelly and Ray Milland. Ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice decides to murder his wife for her money and because she had an affair the year before. He blackmails an old college associate to strangle her, but when things go wrong he sees a way to turn events to his advantage.
I Confess:
Hitchcock movie starring Montgomery Clift and Anne Baxter. Otto Kellar and his wife Alma work as caretaker and housekeeper at a Catholic church in Quebec. Whilst robbing a house where he sometimes works as a gardener, Otto is caught and kills the owner. Racked with guilt he heads back to the church where Father Michael Logan is working late. Otto confesses his crime, but when the police begin to suspect Father Logan he cannot reveal what he has been told in the confession.
Strangers On A Train:
Based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, Strangers On A Train quickly became one of Alfred Hitchcock's most successful thrillers and remains one of his most popular films. En route from Washington, D.C., champion tennis player Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets pushy playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker). What begins as a chance encounter turns into a series of morbid confrontations, as Bruno manipulates his way into Guy's life. Bruno is eager to kill his father and knows Guy wants to marry a senator's daughter (Ruth Roman) but cannot get a divorce from his wife, Miriam (Laura Elliot). So Bruno suggests the men swap murders, which would leave no traceable clues or possible motives. Though Guy refuses, it will not be so easy to rid himself of the psychopathic Bruno. The film is tightly paced and disturbing from beginning to end, an effect heightened by Hitchcock's inventive camera work, including a terrifying sequence shot through a pair of eyeglasses that have been knocked to the ground.
Stage Fright:
Hitchcock movie starring Jane Wyman and Marlene Dietrich. Jonathan Cooper is wanted by the police who suspect him of killing his lover's husband. His friend Eve Gill offers to hide him and Jonathan explains to her that his lover, actress Charlotte Inwood is the real murderer. Eve decides to investigate for herself, but when she meets the detective in charge of the case, she starts to fall in love.
