4 KIM STANLEY (Elizabeth von Ritter) Last season’s “Cheri” saw Kim Stan- ley once again demonstrate her unique capacity for playing any role from an adolescent girl to an aging woman. As the worldly Lea de Lonval her age rang- ed forward from 32 to 64. The wide range of her stage portraits, however, includes unusual character variations as well as age groups. Her tense teen- age Sara Melody in Eugene O’Neill’s “A Touch of The Poet” was in direct contrast to the hoydenish teen-ager she portrayed in “Picnic”. For the latter she won the first two of the impressive array of prizes that have dotted her Black Italian silk chiffon with deep red roses for that SPECIAL OCCASION. (Continued on Page 9)

Her performance in the television adapta- tion of this drama earned her the Syl- vania Award, which set her off on an- other prize-winning streak, to collect the Drama Critics’ and Donaldson A- wards, this time for season’s best act- ress with her vivid portrayal of the un- inhibited chanteuse in “Bus Stop”. Sub- sequently, she played the many-faced heroine of Arthur Laurents’ “A Clear- ing in The Woods”, and went to London, where her British debut as Maggie in Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on A Hot Tin Roof” brought her the accolade of the critics for the best performance of the season. Her first film appearance, in Paddy Chayefsky’s “The Goddess” earn- ed her rich praise from press and pub- lic alike. Her television dramas have included “A Young Lady of Property” and “Tomorrow” by Horton Foote, Clif- ford Odets’ “Clash by Night”, also “Jo- ey” and “The Glass Wall” and Joan of Arc in “You Are There”.
