Timeline

1936

Born to play Tennessee Williams, her harsh beauty, caustic humor and throaty tones were unmistakable and reminiscent of a bygone era that once idolized Tallulah Bankhead and Marlene Dietrich. Her old-fashioned stylings were perhaps too theatrical or indulgent to make a noticeable dent on film or TV (such was the case of Bankhead) but perhaps Hollywood was the one who lost out on what could have been a wonderfully flamboyant character actress. In any event, actress Carrie Nye belonged to the stage and in return it embraced her for four decades. The smoky seductress was born in Mississippi with the highly untheatrical name of Carolyn Nye McGeoy on October 14, 1936 (some sources indicate 1937), the daughter of a banker and a housewife. She began her adult studies at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, but wound up at the Yale School of Drama, where she met the equally droll but less acerbic wit Dick Cavett.

1952

Briefly on the soap opera Guiding Light (1952) in 1984 before her character fell into a pit of quicksand (she told Time magazine that her preferred death for her character was "to be impaled on a hat pin"). She returned to the soap opera in 2003, as a different character and in a role specifically designed for her.

1958

Acting professionally from the age of 14, Carrie played all the cherished Southern belle roles (Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958), Cherie in "Bus Stop" (1958) and Blanche (at age 23!) in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1959)) before making her Broadway debut in "A Second String" (based on a novel by Colette) at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 1960. From there she sank her teeth into the classics. Notable roles included her title character in "Ondine," Celia in "As You Like It," Lady Macduff (and later Lady Macbeth) in "Macbeth," Cressida in "Troilus and Cressida," Regan in "King Lear," Cleopatra in "Antony and Cleopatra" and Cassandra in "The Trojan Women. " On the lighter side, she replaced Betsy von Furstenberg in the popular lightweight comedy "Mary, Mary" and played Cecily Cardew in "The Importance of Being Earnest.

1964

The couple married in 1964. It was one of those unique, complimentary pairings, like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, that withstood the test of time. Cavett was not a comedian then but was actively pursuing a legit acting career. Dick and Carrie subsequently went on to perform together in such plays as "Charley's Aunt," "Auntie Mame," "The Brothers Karamazov," "The Skin of Our Teeth" and "Present Laughter" before he altered the course of his career.

1965

" In addition, she received a Tony nomination for her work in the musical "Half a Sixpence" in 1965.

1966

1973

She fared somewhat better in TV-movies, stealing the thunder from under the Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor pairing in Divorce His - Divorce Hers (1973), and earning an Emmy nomination for her divine imitation of Bankhead in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980), which only she could have done true justice. But for Carrie it was always the theater, particularly regional theater, that took precedence.

With a nonconcentric and powerful grandeur, she took on a number of lofty roles over the years, including Eleanor of Aquitaine in "The Lion in Winter," Regina in "The Little Foxes," the title role in "Hedda Gabler" and an encore performance of Blanche DuBois in 1973, this time at age 47.

1977

Such summer productions there included "Design for Living" (1977) and "Clothes for a Summer Hotel (1989),; she took her final curtain there in the role of Zelda Fitzgerald.

1980

She earned a Drama Desk nomination for "The Man Who Came to Dinner" in 1980 and played alongside Cavett again in a 1985 production of "Nude with Violin. " Throughout it all, Carrie was an established presence at the Williamstown Festival, appearing from the late '50s on.

1990
