- Summary
Geraldine Fitzgerald (1913-2005) was an actor, director and writer, who emigrated from Ireland in 1938. She was active in film, theater and television, from 1932 to 1991, receiving an Academy Award nomination for a supporting role in Wuthering Heights. The collection, dating from 1944 to the 1990s (bulk dates 1970s-1990s) mostly focuses on her work as a director and writer and to a lesser extent as an actor. The musical production Sharon's Grave (later to be retitled Sharon) is represented heavily in the files. In the early stages of the production, Fitzgerald worked closely with Bill C. Davis, a playwright. The Everyman Street Theatre, co-founded with Jonathan Ringkamp (1929-1986), a Franciscan monk is also represented in the collection.
