Trivia

Received the Actors Studio Award in 1980 for her contributions to the theatre.

Took over the role of Rosa della Rosa because Anna Magnani (who was old enough to be her mother) didn\'t speak English well enough to essay the role on Broadway, so this young Irish Catholic from Troy played an Italian \"Earth Mother\" on Broadway to critical and popular acclaim! |  |
