| It's also kind of ludicrous that when Mary Beth Peil did one of Brynner's Broadway "King & I" revivals she was nominated for Supporting (or Featured, whatever they called it that year) Actress for Anna! Yes she was below the title, but it was originally conceived as the star part of the whole show. But Tonys are very inconsistent over the years with categories; they did that with putting leading people in supporting categories like those Tony winners Tom Bosley in "Fiorello", Tammy Grimes in "Molly Brown", Dick van Dyke in "Bye Bye Birdie" which I can think of offhand and also nominee William Daniels' huge role of John Adams (who declined that nomination for "1776"). |
