...Playing Irina in Chekhov's Three Sisters after too little rehearsal, she was booed and got the worst roasting of her career. The London Times described Sandy and Kim Stanley, who played another of the sisters, as "ludicrous and painful."

Worse, Sandy was bypassed for the screen versions of her Broadway hits. That hurt, though neither Barbara Harris in A Thousand Clowns nor Jane...
