Harriet Sansom Harris starred in two fine productions of "The Man Who Came To Dinner" on stage. In the first, she appeared with John Mahoney at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater. She then reprised the role on Broadway, playing opposite Nathan Lane. This latter production was captured on film and subsequently broadcast.
Made her debut with the New York Philaharmonic in April 2003 in the role
of Beatrice in a concert staging of Berlioz's opera "Beatrice and
Benedict." David Hyde Pierce (Dr. Niles Crane on
Frasier (1993)) played Benedict opposite Harris.
My mother once said that my first words were 'Tony Award.' Being Texan, she was prone to exaggeration. I think it was something more like 'Me, me, Tony.' - excerpt from her 2002 Tony Award acceptance speech
