| Irene Dailey originated the role of the Mother in Chicago and won the Sarah Siddens award for her portrayal. Yes that SS award made famous in "All About Eve". (sorry not sure how the award's name is spelled) It was and maybe still is a Chicago award). Have no idea why it was used instead of The Tony in "Eve". At any rate Irene didn't get to play it in the New York production. Sada Thompson was the Mother. Sada had been a queen of Regional Theaters for year and "Gamma Rays" finally got her talents recognized in New York leading of course to "Twigs" and her Tony. |
