My Take
Gary Merrill is one of those reliable character men I keep circling back to. Over fifty features, plus a string of short-lived TV series, suggests a working actor who simply never stopped, and being cast in All About Eve put him in rarefied company. What interests me most is that he held the screen opposite Bette Davis, whom he married, without being swallowed by her formidable presence. That takes a quiet confidence. I respect performers who keep grinding even when their series fizzle, and Merrill clearly had the temperament for the long haul rather than the quick flash of fame.
