| She had a small role in one of my favorite movies, "Life With Mikey." That movie had a lot of theater people in cameos- as James Lapine was the director- including William Finn, Wendy Wasserstein, Christine Baranksi, Mandy Patinkin, Victor Garber, a young Laura Bell Bundy, Stephen Bogardus, Heather MacRae, Michael Rupert, Barbara Walsh, and Christopher Durang among others . Also- Nathan Lane was one of the leads alongside Michael J Fox (who was discussed as Leo for the original cast of The Producers at one point) and Cyndi Lauper. | |

| She gave one of the greatest acting performances I ever saw in the original "Fences". The scene where she starts off lightly hitting James Earl Jones because of his revelation to her, then hitting him harder and harder, ending with a scream that seemed primal, was the highlight and is still memorable years later. A very deserved Tony Award for a terrific actress. Rest in peace. | |

| Coincidentally, I just saw a video clip of that scene yesterday, before I heard this news. At the Performing Arts Library there's an exhibit saluting the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive, with excerpts from memorable shows taped by TOFT over the years. That scene is prominent among them. | |

| I wholeheartedly concur. One of the more re powerful performances I’ve seen. She was deeply, deeply moving in Fences and a terrific actress. May she rest in peace. | |

| Unfailingly powerful in all the work I saw Mary Alice do, and I too am so grateful to have seen her unforgettable performance in FENCES. | |
