An extraordinary actress comes to a sudden realization that she was dead wrong about a play all these years: "I grew up with a creative, practical, English-teaching mother, and I found Amanda to be kind of abhorrent, to tell you the truth. And the play was so depressing. This is where it gets embarrassing, because clearly I lacked the depth and experience to appreciate the play for the masterpiece it is, and the woman for who she is, because now I have nothing but respect for Amanda Wingfield. John Tiffany talked me into doing a reading of it, and afterward, I just — as we say in Paris, Tenn. — squealed like a pig under a gate. I realized what an extraordinary gift it would be to get to play her."
