Tammy Grimes won the 1970 Tony for Best Actress in a play for playing Amanda in Private Lives. Anything by Noel Coward is a Diva but especially that lady! One of the other nominees was the inevitable Helen Hayes as Aunt Veta in Harvey. I guess she's the leading lady in that show but the play is really about Elwood, played in this revival (as it was in the movie) by Jimmy Stewart. Miss Hayes is pictured with Mister Stewart in the photo below.
