"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Cynthia Nixon starred in two Best Play nominees (and one winner) *simultaneously* in the '80s.
Even that isn't "an accomplishment." A neat bit of effort and a good marketing ploy, but not an accomplishment. A circumstance.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

It's a testament to Doyle's talent that he got these roles. Good for him.
And Sally, good for us that you're back here posting where you belong. I've always loved reading your reviews.
