My Take
Rosemary Harris is theatrical royalty, and I mean that as the highest compliment. A Tony, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a 2017 lifetime achievement award mark a stage career of rare depth, even if many know her only as Aunt May. What moves me is the persistence: still working past ninety, still tied to the discipline of live performance. I have more patience for an artist who logged decades on the boards than for any overnight sensation, and Harris embodies that. Behind every shiny award sits the unseen accumulation of rehearsal, and you can feel those rings of effort in her work.
