My Take
Maureen Stapleton deserves a deep bow. Born in working-class Troy, New York, in 1925, she became one of the very few actors to complete the Triple Crown of Acting, with an Oscar, an Emmy and two Tonys to her name. What moves me is not the trophy count but the craftsmanship: she moved fluidly across stage, film and television for half a century without ever relying on glamour. I am drawn to actors who are true journeymen of their art, grounded and unpretentious.
