Description
After what producer David Susskind called "the longest wooing for a part in a lifetime of dealaint with stars," four=time Oscar winner Katherine Hepburn made her television dramatic debut as the indomitable, overbeating matriarch Amanda Wingfield, in Tennessee Williams' poignant 1945 memory play. The Gladd Menagerie portrays a mother whose preoccupation with her past as a Southern belle and her unrealistic dreams for her children's futures threaten to smother her painfully shy lame daughter and her aspiring writer son.
