EPISODE NOTES:

And the Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical goes to … FAITH PRINCE. The year was 1992. The show was "Guys and Dolls." The role was Miss Adelaide. And while Faith was honored to be recognized for her performance, she did not expect the baggage that came with the win: "It kinda messes you up for awhile because it puts you in this league and then people go, 'Oh, you can't take that. That's not worthy of you.' Suddenly I went from being a character actress to being a leading lady. And it took me about five years to shake all that and go back to my old self and start picking things that I liked and wanted to do."
