American actress (1925–2013)
Five Tony Awards for Best Actress — a record no one else holds. Julie Harris made stage acting look like a kind of possession: total, unsettling, alive in a way that made audiences forget they were watching someone pretend.
Julia Ann Harris was born December 2, 1925, and made her Broadway debut in 1945. She broke through in 1950 in The Member of the Wedding, a role she carried to film in 1952 and earned an Academy Award nomination. The Tony wins came in waves: I Am a Camera in 1952, The Lark in 1956, Forty Carats in 1969, The Last of Mrs. Lincoln in 1973, The Belle of Amherst in 1977 — five times the best, a record that still stands. She moved between stage and screen without losing her centre, appearing in East of Eden, The Haunting, and Reflections in a Golden Eye, and winning three Primetime Emmys across four…
