yearslater,Dewhurst,acclaimed as one of the greatesttragic actresses of our time,died on August 22,1991,leaving unfinished the autobiography shehad been writing for nearly two decades.The par-tial manuscript,notes and untranscribed tapessketched the complete woman:the daughter whowrestled with the domineering strength of hermother's will,yet whose fierce integrity wouldmotivate her actions for a lifetime;the student ofTyrone Guthrie,Harold Clurman and JosephPapp;the creator,with actors Jason Robards andBen Gazzara,of definitive renditions of EugeneO'Neill and Edward Albee plays;the star whowould win two Obies,two Tonys and four Emmys;the activist who as president of Actors'EquityAssociation and a trustee of The Actors'Fund ofAmerica spoke up first and often,becoming afierce advocate for those who were not as wellknown as she;the wife of George C.Scott;themother of Alex and Campbell—and,on television,of Murphy Brown;and,finally,the friend whoselaughter and easy willingness to share the joy,thepain and the random ridiculousness of life invitedmany into her heart.  \nColleen's unbending principles and ardentactivism would shape her life.But her intensitywas balanced by exuberance and an egalitarianlove of gossip,as evidenced by anecdotes ofprofessional success and failure;stories aboutthe classic productions of The Taming of theShrew,Desire Under the Elms,All the Way Home,A Moon for the Misbegotten,You Can't Take Itwith You and Long Day's Journey into Night;memories of finding her stage legs in cramped the-aters where she earned the sobriquet the“Queen ofOff-Broadway”;as well as delicious details aboutthe menagerie of people and pets who collectedat her wooded escape known as the Farm.  \nhttp://www.archive.org/details/colleendewhursth00dewh  \n边
