Streetcar - Tandy

[gggg gggg]

I came across a webpage this morning that reminded me how much I wish I'd
been able to see Jessica Tandy play Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named
Desire."

Tandy's letter to Tennessee Williams leaves no doubt that she understood
the character very well. I've never cared for Vivien Leigh's film
interpretation; I actually THINK I prefer Ann Margret's television
performance, even though I've seen that production only once, when it was
originally broadcast. I infer from the IMDB that Tandy's performance was
never captured on film or TV. Is that right? And if so...how sad.

I am the Mighty Favog

Whenever I see GONE WITH THE W. and STREETCAR..., am I the only one who has noticed that none of the supporting characters seem to be speaking with a Southern accent?
