Actress Colleen Dewhurst (1926-1991) is best remembered for her
seminal characterizations in the plays of Eugene O'Neill, which
highlighted a career on stage, screen, and television that spanned
forty years and earned her two Tony awards and four Emmys. Writing
about her Broadway triumph as Josie Hogan in A Moon for the
Misbegotten (1973), critic Clive Barnes said she spoke O'Neill as
if it were being spoken for the first time--and not for the first
time in a theater . . . but for the first time in a certain New
England farm, on a certain September night in 1923. Though known
for her portrayals of tragic heroines, Dewhurst also played comic
roles and played Murphy Brown's mother for three seasons in that
television series. At her death, she left an indelible mark in
American theater, but, curiously, little written commentary beyond
reviews and journalistic articles. This study documents her diverse
performance and directing careers, with information also on her
personal life and her participation in political and philanthropic
causes, including two terms as president of Actors' Equity. An
extensive productions section provides data on her major and minor
roles in all media, including credits, runs, synopses, and review
citations. This is supplemented by an annotated bibliography of
major reviews and other writings, a list of awards, a biographical
study, and a chronology of her life and career, all carefully
cross-referenced and indexed. This book adds to the growing number
of studies that organize essential resources on performance for
effective research use.
