Colleen Dewhurst Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Tall, luminous and leonine, the legendary Colleen Dewhurst must go down as one of the theater's finest contemporary tragediennes of the late 1900s. With trademark dusky tones and a majestically careworn appearance, she possessed an inimitable down-to-earth fierceness that not only earned her the title "Queen of Off-Broadway" but allowed her to put...

#Quote
1[on ex-husband George C. Scott] I have great love and affection for George. And admiration. He's brilliant. I always said we got on much better during the divorces. I'm very subjective, he's very objective. We make a better brother and sister.
2There is no going back. God knows I've made mistakes, some of them close to tragedies, but then I suppose I'm greedy. I wanted it all.
3Straight Broadway plays are unattended, too expensive and seldom well written. You find people talking through a show because they think they're in front of a TV set and you can't hear them. But I believe New York theater will definitely rise again. A lot of people you wouldn't find in bed together, such as actors, producers and technical unions, are beginning to realize that our lives depend on each other. I have a tremendous affection for everyone in the business.

1She was awarded the 1974 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Distinguished Performance for her role in the play, "A Moon for the Misbegotten," at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
2Gave birth to her 2nd child at age 37, a son Campbell Scott on July 19, 1961. Child's father is her 2nd ex-husband, George C. Scott.
3Gave birth to her 1st child at age 36, a son Alexander Scott in August 1960. Child's father is her 2nd ex-husband, George C. Scott.
4Was on the executive boards of the Actors Fund of America and Save the Theatres, a movement to keep existing Broadway houses from being destroyed.
5Her companion for nearly twenty years was Ken Marsolais, an independent producer who mounted such shows as "Ned and Jack" (which Dewhurst directed both off and on Broadway). He and Dewhurst met when he was brought in as assistant stage manager on "A Moon for the Misbegotten" in 1973.
6In 1990, as president of Equity, she became embroiled in the union's dispute with the producer Cameron Mackintosh over whether actor Jonathan Pryce should be allowed to perform the role of a Eurasian pimp that he created in the London production of "Miss Saigon" when the show opened on Broadway. The union first barred Mr. Pryce and then reversed its decision, and he went on to win the Tony Award as best actor in a musical. In announcing the ban on Mr. Pryce and her support for the union's declaration that it was inappropriate in 1990 for a Caucasian actor to portray a Eurasian, she was widely criticized for her statement and her stand.
7She was nominated for a 1973 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Guest Artist for her performance in the play, "A Moon for the Misbegotten" at the Academy Festival Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
8In order to explain her death of her reoccurring character, Marilla Cuthbert, on Avonlea (1990), clips of her death scene from the TV movie Lantern Hill (1989) were used. The Avonlea episode was dedicated to her.
9Ex-stepmother of Devon Scott.
10Won two Tony Awards: in 1961, as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) for "All the Way Home" and in 1974, as Best Actress (Dramatic) for "A Moon for the Misbegotten." She also received six other Tony nominations: as Best Actress (Dramatic), in 1962 for "Great Day in the Morning," in 1964 for "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe," in 1968 for "More Stately Mansions," in 1972 for "All Over," and in 1973 for "Mourning Becomes Electra," and as Best Actress (Play), in 1977 for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?".
11She was raised in the U.S. from the age of 13, although it is unclear if she ever took U.S. citizenship.
1220 October 2001, the Northern Westchester Center of the Arts Theater (Mt. Kisco, NY) was re-dedicated the Colleen Dewhurst Theater.
13In June 1988, she played Mary Tyrone in "Long Day's Journey into Night" on Broadway opposite her son, Campbell Scott, as Edmund Tyrone.
14Won two Obie Awards and two Tony Awards.
15Studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
16Was captain of her seventh-grade girls' baseball team.
17An only child.
18Her father, Fred, played for the CFL's Ottawa Roughriders and was instrumental in bringing amateur hockey to Ottawa.
19Her autobiography was published posthumously in 1997, completed by Tom Viola.

21Married George C. Scott twice.
