If you believe that Cicely Tyson is the age she claims to be -- I know there's been some questioning, but she claims to be 92 -- then she appeared in TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL at 88 and THE GIN GAME at 90. She made her Broadway debut in 1959, meaning 56 years between first appearance and most recent appearance.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
