Everybody I know who saw the 1987 Off-Broadway production of Alfred Uhry’s "Driving Miss Daisy" remembers it with awe and affection, and agrees that the cast—Morgan Freeman, Dana Ivey and Ray Gill—couldn’t be bettered. If you’re one of those lucky folk, I suggest that you head straight for Broadway, where James Earl Jones, Vanessa Redgrave and Boyd Gaines are proving that when it comes to great acting, nobody ever has the last word.

We tend to associate actors such as James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave with characters of a certain stature. Othello and Cleopatra, Tennessee Williams’ Big Daddy and Eugene O’Neill’s Mary Tyrone are among the epic figures that have lured these living legends to the New York stage.

But giants of the theater belong to a magnificent species that is fast disappearing. And when one shows up in your neighborhood, you polish your eyeglasses and go for a look.
