| I've always heard that it was down to her and Kerry O'Malley for the 2002 Broadway revival. I would have loved to see her do it, she does seem ideal for landing many of the laughs Gleason earned that subsequent actresses have not. Based on a lot of Lapine's directorial choices for that revival (let's not do the thing that worked last time because we did that already) my guess is he agreed with you that Hopkins would have succeeded in a vein similar to Gleason. |
