TAMMY GRIMES (Katherine) From the uninhibited hoyden Molly Brown, to the brittle sophistication of Noel Coward's Amanda- Tammy Grimes has created characters on the Broadway stage that caused Walter Kerr to proclaim: "Tammy Grimes is a genius." Later, Mr. Kerr again exclaimed: "Miss Grimes remains a miracle." She won her second Tony Award as "best dramatic actress in 1970 for her comedy portrayal of Amanda Prynne in the revival of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." Born in Lynn, Mass. under the sign of Aquarius, Miss Grimes attended Stephens College in Missouri, spent a season at the Westport Playhouse in Connecticut, and studied at Sanford Meisner's Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Then came the world of a full-fledged actress as she stood by for Kim Stanley in "Bus Stop," appeared with Joel Grey off-Broadway in "The Littlest Revue," toured with Julie Harris in "The Lark," supported Claude Dauphin off-Broadway in "Clerambard," and played Mistress Quickly in "King Henry, Part One," and Mopsa in "Winter's Tale" at Stratford, Ontario. Her Broadway debut was the result of her supper club appearances at Julius Monk's Downstairs at the Upstairs. Roddy McDowell brought Noel Coward to hear her sing and, during intermission, he offered her the leading role in "Look After Lulu." Although her personal notices were glowing, it wasn't until she made her musical debut in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," that the world became Tammy Grimes Conscious. She won her first Tony Award for "Best Actress in a Musical Comedy," and appeared in the show for two years. Miss Grimes followed "Molly" with starring roles in Broadway's "Rattle of a Simple Man," in the musical version of Noel Coward's "High Spirits," as Elvira in Frank D. Gilroy's "The Only Game in Town."
She has been a guest on virtually all of the major dramatic and variety television programs, starred in her own ABC-TV series and co-starred with Eddie Albert in the NBC-TV Holiday Special "The Borrowres" during this past Christmas week on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Tammy Grimes made her film debut co-starring with David McCallum in "Three Bites of the Apple" and she starred in the movie "Arthur, Arthur."
