I just realized an unintended casualty of Bennett's campaigning for Donna McKechnie in Leading Actress might've been Christine Andreas.

Had McKechnie not been in Leading Actress, that slot probably would've gone to Andreas, who played Eliza in ''My Fair Lady.''

Her Broadway debut earned her a Theatre World Award. Happily, Andreas was nominated a few years later for ''Oklahoma!'' & ''On Your Toes.''

The ironic thing is that McKechnie's career was probably hurt by the decision.

Speaking of irony, Donna was Chita's standby in ''The Visit'' (2015). I wonder if they ever looked back at that 1976 Tony to-do together and laughed.

That's right. I forgot that Donna was her standby in The Visit. I was hoping she would have the chance to go on.

I've had some pretty extensive conversations with both of them. Chita's tough -- she would laugh about it. Donna is very sweet -- she might not.
