My Take
Two Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical is not luck; it is sustained mastery, and that is what draws me to Christine Ebersole. Coming out of Winnetka, Illinois, and winning her Tonys for 42nd Street and Grey Gardens, she built a career that refused to sit in one lane, moving fluidly between Broadway, film, and television while keeping the stage as her true home. I am partial to performers who can command a live audience, and her range from drama to comedy suggests a generosity rare among stars of her stature. She deserves far more recognition outside theater circles than she gets, and I find her longevity genuinely admirable.
