The statuette is modeled after [[Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse|''Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse'']], an 18th-century painting by [[Joshua Reynolds]]. A reproduction of the painting is seen in the entrance of Margo Channing's apartment and is prominently featured during the party scene. In 1952, inspired by the film, a group of Chicago theater patrons founded the Sarah Siddons Society and began awarding a real-life version of the Sarah Siddons Award, designed to resemble the fictional trophy depicted in the film. The first award was presented to [[Helen Hayes]] in 1953, and subsequent recipients have included [[Bette Davis]], [[Celeste Holm]], [[Lauren Bacall]], and [[Angela Lansbury]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jacobson |first=Jay |date=2020-04-07 |title=ALL ABOUT EVE, 1950, Bette Davis, Celeste Holm, Ann Baxter, George Sanders, Thelma Ritter |url=https://www.jaysclassicmovieblog.com/post/all-about-eve |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=JaysClassicMovieBlog |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Celeste Holm Collection |url=https://www.doyle.com/story/the-celeste-holm-collection/ |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=www.doyle.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Brookins |first=Laurie |date=2020-07-05 |title=Spot the Sarah Siddons Easter Eggs in "All About Eve" |url=https://www.screenchic.com/post/spot-the-sarah-siddons-easter-eggs-in-all-about-eve |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=Screen Chic |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sarah Siddons Society Records |url=https://www.chipublib.org/fa-sarah-siddons-society-records/ |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=www.chipublib.org |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=AFI{{!}}Catalog |url=https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/moviedetails/26204 |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=catalog.afi.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Chicago |first=Classic |date=2018-11-04 |title=Chicago's Nov. 12 Sarah Siddons Award {{!}} Classic Chicago Magazine |url=https://classicchicagomagazine.com/all-about-the-sarah-siddons-award/ |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=classicchicagomagazine.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
