Gallagher won a Featured Tony for the '52 revival of Pal Joey and got bigger roles, star billing (briefly), more respect, and steady employment after that show.
She won the Best Actress Tony for the revival of No, No, Nanette, which led to her getting the lead role in the long running TV daytime drama Ryan's Hope for 13 years and a long, successful career. Although she never became a big star, everyone in the business that I know respects and even reveres her. |
