Colleen Dewhurst(1924-1991)

Died just two days prior to winning the fourth Emmy of her career, this one for her guest appearance as Murphy Brown (1988)'s mother.

Straight Broadway plays are unattended, too expensive and seldom well written. You find people talking through a show because they think they're in front of a TV set and you can't hear them. But I believe New York theater will definitely rise again. A lot of people you wouldn't find in bed together, such as actors, producers and technical unions, are beginning to realize that our lives depend on each other. I have a tremendous affection for everyone in the business.
