In 1984, she was nominated for two Tony Awards: as Best Actress (Featured Role - Play) for George Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak House," and as Best Actress (Featured Role - Musical) for "Sunday in the Park with George," a performance she recreated in the television version of the same title, Sunday in the Park with George (1986) (TV). This made her one of only three actors (the others being Amanda Plummer and Kate Burton) to receive two Tony nominations for acting in the same year. She was also nominated in 1987 as Best Actress (Featured Role - Play) for "The Last Night of Ballyhoo."
She received her fourth Tony Award Nomination (2005 Best Supporting Actress in a Play) for her role as Mrs. Malaprop in The Rivals. Unfortunately, she did not win.
