Who has been the youngest person to win or get nominated for a Tony Award? Have any child actors ever won, because my friend asked me this today, and I was suprised when I did not know.

The kid from "Mame" is the youngest ever.

Frankie Michaels? (Is that his name?)

I'm pretty sure he was 10. Daisy Egan was 11, I believe.

Anway, Frankie is the youngest winner ever.

Did anyone see her in James Joyce's THE DEAD, back in 2000? IBDB says she played Rita, a music student.

Yero, you and everybody else.

Patty Duke is the youngest person ever to have her name above the title of a Broadway play.
Also as a side note she is also the youngest person ever to have a television series bearing her own name.
