A Brief History of Movie Stars in Their Broadway Debuts

Closer Weekly

In The Last Picture Show, Ellen Burstyn plays the unhappy wife of the town’s richest man who tries to warn her beautiful teenage daughter about the pitfalls of adulthood. When the film came out in 1971, Ellen’s heartfelt performance garnered a lot of Academy Awards buzz. “I found the amount of my wanting it just disgusting,” Ellen, 91, exclusively tells Closer. “So on the morning they announced [the nominees], I drove to the beach and sat there all day, not knowing whether or not I had been nominated so I could separate myself from that profound yearning experience I was feeling.” It was only when Ellen returned home and found her apartment filled with flower arrangements, that she realized she’d been nominated.

Read our review of Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway, starring Sutton Foster and Michael Urie and featuring a newly adapted script by Amy Sherman-Palladino. New York City Center’s winter production of Once Upon a Mattress, now running on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre, is mostly a vehicle for leading lady Sutton Foster. This is in part due to the star power of the two-time Tony Award winner, who has entered a stage of her career where she can play any part she wants and Broadway agrees — and she is not miscast here. The down-to-earth, winsome, and sweet Princess Winnifred is a perfect fit not only for Foster’s voice and physical prowess, but for her trademark goofiness as well. Foster’s energy, however, is not enough to sustain a whole show.
