Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones Star in DRIVING MISS DAISY on THIRTEEN's "Great Performances", airing Friday, July 17 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). The Pulitzer Prize-winning work was recorded in Australia at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne.

Alfred Uhry's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Driving Miss Daisy, a 2010 hit on Broadway, comes to television with five-time Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award® nominee Angela Lansbury and two-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award® winner James Earl Jones as Daisy Werthan and Hoke Colburn, respectively. Actor Boyd Gaines (a four-time Tony Award winner) reprises his Broadway role as Boolie Werthan.

Uhry's classic play is a timeless, searing, funny, and ultimately hopeful meditation on race relations in America, told through the complex relationship between two of popular culture's most enduring characters. When Daisy Werthan, a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury Atlanta, is deemed too old to drive, her son hires Hoke Colburn, an African American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a troubled and hostile pairing, soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that transcends all the societal boundaries placed between them.

Their iconic tale of pride, changing times and the transformative power of friendship has warmed the hearts of millions worldwide.
