The actress, who won an Oscar earlier this year for her supporting role in the movie "Shakespeare In Love," returned to Broadway after a 40-year absence to star in David Hare's "Amy's View."

This was taken from the Tony preview which ran on CNN Interactive. Thank you to Debbie Bush for sending it to me.
