After what producer David Susskind called "the longest wooing for a part in a lifetime of dealing with stars," four-time Oscar winner Katherine Hepburn made her television dramatic debut as the indomitable, overbearing matriarch Amanda Wingfield, in Tennessee Willaims' poignant 1945 memory play. The Glass 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 (Joanna Miles) and her aspiring writer son (Sam Waterston). Michael Moriarty plays the gentleman caller whose visit offers false hope and disrupts the family's precarious balance. Both Michael Moriarty and Joanna Miles won 1973-74 Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor. Anthony Harvey was nominated by the Directors Guild of America for Best Director, 1973.
