1952

The opening show of the fall 1952 season was Arthur Laurents' The Time of the Cuckoo starring Shirley Booth (left) opposite Dino DiLuca. The show was a success and Booth received her third Tony Award for Best Actress. In her successful theatre, film and television career, Booth was also an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Emmy Award-winner, perhaps best known for her role late in life on the television s it-com Hazel.
