    Colleen Dewhurst, the actress who made even the most banal scripts into masterpieces, died in August 1991, leaving the manuscript for her memoir only half completed. Thanks to her editor and her assistant, what grew out of the tragedy of losing Miss Dewhurst is an even more well-rounded portrait of this marvelous woman. I believe that if it had been left only to her own memory, there would have been a number of omissions - because her friends and family were asked to share their reminiscences, we have a much fuller view of what living in her world must have been like.

    Colleen was endlessly generous, astoundingly profane, loving, supportive, continually strapped for cash, and outspoken. When she took on causes, tasks got completed, even as her own personal business fell to others because she was simply too disorganized to manage it.

    Dewhurst, Colleen

    (b. 3 June 1924 in Montreal, Canada; d. 22 August 1991 in South Salem, New York), one of America’s foremost actresses, best remembered for her roles in the plays of Eugene O’Neill, which highlighted a career on stage, screen, and television that spanned forty years and earned her two Tony Awards and four Emmys.
