GERALDINE PAGE & JAMES DEAN

Described by playwright Tennessee Williams, whose troubled heroines she often portrayed on stage and screen, as "the most disciplined and dedicated of actresses," Geraldine Page burst upon the NYC theatrical scene as the Southern spinster hoping for one last chance at love in a highly celebrated 1952 revival of Williams' "Summer and Smoke", which put both Page and off-Broadway on the map.
In 1954 she appeared on Broadway in a production of "The Immoralist" with James Dean.
