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. |
