Given the 20ish year time span of the play, you'd probably want an actress in her late-30's/early 40's would could pass for 20something in the early scenes when the New York party girl is lumbered with a kid she didn't ask for, and then pass for 40/50something in the later bits when the kid's grown up, married, and palming off his own kid on Auntie Mame.

I'm just not sure who's a 40ish character woman with the style and panache to carry this off. And, not necessarily a star, but enough of a name to get the role at someplace like the Roundabout. Who's a younger Andrea Martin type now?

To get someone with both style and panache and who is also a name, you would have to consider someone a bit older (I think) -- perhaps Laura Linney or Jessica Hecht.

You may be right about that. I love the idea of Laura Linney. I think Jessica Hecht may be more of a Vera.
