Photo Coverage: Remembering Julie Harris
By: Walter McBride Aug. 26, 2013
As BroadwayWorld previously reported, legendary screen and stage actress Julie Harris has died at age 87 on Saturday at her home in West Chatham, Massachusetts due to congestive heart failure.
Harris was born in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan on December 2nd, 1925. She moved to New York and became the youngest student ever accepted to Yale School of Drama. Before she had finished out the year at Yale, she was cast in her Broadway debut, It's a Gift (1945). She made several other Broadway appearances in the 1940s while studying at The Actor's Studio.
However, her much-lauded breakout performance was in 1951 as the eleven-year old tomboy Frankie Addams in Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding, directed by Harold Clurman and was cast in the film version the following year, for which she earned an Oscar nomination. Had she won, Harris would have been an EGOT winner.
Harris earned her first of ten Tony nominations as Sally Bowles in I Am a Camera, a role she would also reprise on film. She won another Tony in 1955 as Joan of Arc in The Lark.
