| I liked what Brantley said: I sometimes wondered why Ms. Maxwell never achieved wider recognition. (She never did win a Tony.) Perhaps it was a matter of choice, of not wanting or needing the ego shot of marquee-goddess stature, though her high cheekbones and lynx’s eyes endowed her with the appropriate appearance. It may also be that she seemed to hail from another era, when theater stardom was perceived as the headiest kind of celebrity and sufficient unto itself. A marquee is exactly what she didn't represent. |

| Although there is some truth to that, singleticket, the respect should still be shown. I would be shocked if it wasn’t. | |

| Maybe I'm being naive or optimistic, but, based on recent trends, I don't think they are going to let the passing of a five-time Tony nominee who dedicated her professional life to the theater go unrecognized. It would be really terrible if she was not given that recognition. John McMartin, another 5-time Tony nominee, passed away on July 6, 2016, and I don't think it was until July 11 that his dimming of the lights was announced, which took place on July 13. So I am hoping that they just haven't announced it yet. |

| She'll be on the Tonys in memoriam no doubt. Isn't that enough? The honor is being watered down. It sucks when people die though. | |
