In 1960, she returned to Broadway as Joan Plowright's mother in Shelagh Delaney's "A Taste of Honey." She starred in her first musical, "Anyone Can Whistle" in 1964, and in 1966 she triumphed as "Mame," winning her first Tony. She won Tonys for "Dear World" (1968), "Gypsy" (1974) and "Sweeney Todd" (1979). After a 23-year hiatus, she returned to Broadway in 2007 starring in Terrence McNally's "Deuce." In 2009 she won her fifth Tony Award as Madame Arcati in Noe?l Coward's "Blithe Spirit," which was followed in 2010 by her performance as Madame Armfeldt in Stephen Sondheim's classic "A Little Night Music" and Gore Vidal's classic "The Best Man" (2012). In 2013, she appeared in the highly acclaimed Australian tour of Alfred Uhry's play "Driving Miss Daisy," also starring James Earl Jones andBoyd Gaines. It was so successful that it was filmed as a live theatre performance and was released in movie theatres worldwide earlier this year.
