Shade in Woolf's Clothing

Uta Hagen, who won a Tony playing Martha in the original stage version of Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?, died at age 84. One of Broadway's greatest stars, she won another Tony in 1950 for The Country Girl, and won a lifetime achievement Tony in 1999. That same year, she reprised her role as Martha in a benefit appearance dubbed one of the year's stage highlights. Any film career she may have aspired to was dashed by her appearance in Othello, co-starring Paul Robeson, whose left-leaning tendencies cast a doubt on his co-stars with the McCarthyites.
