Dreamer: The first photo in our Phila Story thread - of Kate in a bathrobe sitting on a small ottoman is from the stage Without Love....So knowing you, you might want to move it to a Without Love thread. Great photo, though. Thanks for posting. And thanks again for ALL the photos you post! Everyone give dreamer a round of applause! :-)

these images posted here are amazing. a question to the assembled wise people here: have you EVER seen a production of PHILADELPHIA STORY that moves you as much as kate's? i mean, i'm assuming no one on here is old enough to have witnessed kate on stage in this role (smile) so i acknowledge that we're comparing across media here .. kate on film and anyone else on stage. which presents issues. yet the question remains ....
i missed laura linney's new york performances some years ago (and i do so love this woman's work). and i know that jennifer ehle embodied tracy lord in the kevin spacey production more recently. i am attending a production later today at a local chicago theatre, by a good local company whose work i have enjoyed in the past. and the production has received quite respectable reviews.
and i'm wary. you all know why i'm wary. but i'm going.
thoughts? has anyone shared this experience? its awesome .. this power that kate has, justifiably, over this role written for her and all subsequent performers who attempt it ...

No other actress could ever be Tracy Lord. This play should just be retired or something.

I saw Blythe Danner do it at Lincoln Center a thousand years ago (Cynthia Nixon was Dinah!). I love Blythe Danner. But, uh uh. Nope. That role belongs to Kate. And I suspect if I'd seen her do it onstage I'd say the same. I am not one to say that it should not be done. I totally do not believe that. I think it MUST be done for every generation....but I think the chances of anyone surpassing her in the role would be slim - and that's because the movie exists and will always be the standard against which subsequent performances are judged. That's not to say they won't be perfectly fine. But I cannot imagine them being more moving or finer. I work with someone who DID see her in it in 1939 - and has seen all the greats of the theatre in the last 70 years or so - and he still, to this day, says it was the most wonderful thing he's ever seen in the theatre. Literate, amusing....and, oh, yeah, Kate...or as some here would say, Kateness.
