"It looks all but certain that Debra Winger is going to make her Broadway debut this fall in a new production of "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?" The word is that Winger will take the role made famous by Katharine Hepburn in the 1968 film of a matriarch whose daughter brings home a black doctor as her fiancée.
In the movie, Spencer Tracy played opposite Hepburn as her husband. I’m told that producers are looking at Bill Pullman and Barry Bostwick for the role. Last fall, Blythe Danner and Larry Bryggman played the parents in a reading. Danner obviously chose to do something else. Bryggman, however, would be a great choice for the Tracy role.
Other roles are going to LaTauya Richardson Jackson, the talented actress wife of Samuel L. Jackson, as the family’s maid. Producers are said to be looking at TV’s *Amanda Bynes* as the couple’s daughter, played by Hepburn’s niece Katharine Houghton in the film.
Still to be cast is the Sidney Poitier role, Dr. John Prentice, although I’m told Mekhi Phifer, of "ER," may be the final choice. If he’s not available, producers should try and get Anthony Mackie."
Amanda is being approach? Do you think she will do it? The show will come out this fall. I personally do not want her to do it because I think she needs to work on her movie career. Also we won't get to see her on the show unless we go to New York. I hope someone will tape it and post it on youtube which is unlikely. If she does this play, hopefully she can get nominated for a Tony!
