A great, great loss.

It would take all day to list the myriad achievements of one of America's greatest actresses, Julie Harris. On Broadway she won more best actress Tony's than any other performer: five. But she was also honored for such movies as East of Eden and Reflections in a Golden Eye and the film version of Member of the Wedding. TV viewers will know her for such series as Knots Landing, and such landmark TV specials as The Lark and Belle of Amherst. This photo is from the 1950 Broadway production of Member of the Wedding in which the 25-year-old Julie Harris convincingly played the 12-year-old Frankie Addams.

Shown with Ms. Harris: The legendary Ethel Waters and the amazingly talented 9-year-old, Brandon deWilde.
