My Take
Tammy Grimes was the genuine article of the stage, and I find her two Tony Awards thoroughly deserved. Originating Molly Brown in The Unsinkable Molly Brown is the sort of creative feat I value most, building a role from nothing rather than inheriting it. That distinctive husky voice made her equally formidable as singer and actress, a true double threat of Broadway's golden age. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1934, she rode the peak of mid-century theatre. She passed in 2016, and tracing her path from the Theatre World Award onward, I genuinely wish I could have seen her live.
