Where does one start? For me, with "Mornings and Seven" and her eccentric, unsentimental, brilliant Penny in "You Can't Take it With You." Two performances that were damn near definitive. But I loved her near misses and even, to some, critical failures (Bracknell in "Earnest" -- imperfect but wildly funny). And in the smallest roles -- Hoffman's mother in "The Graduate," or the teacher in "Picnic" (stage and screen) -- she was perfection. She contributed to "Sticks and Bones" one of the most daring performances in the New York theater, ever. How much did we love her, how much will we miss her.
