Geraldine Page News

Actress Geraldine Page, born in Missouri 1924, was well respected for her dedication to her roles on stage and screen, winning an Oscar and an Emmy.

The trip from my house in the east county to The South Coast Repertory Theatre in Costa Mesa to see Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful", took me about 90 minutes from door to door with medium traffic along the way.

The question posed yesterday was this: Can you name the famous actress who starred in more than 100 different plays at the Lake Zurich Playhouse after World War II? If you guessed Geraldine Page, then you guessed correctly! Born in Missouri, Page attended the Goodman Theater School in Chicago after graduating from high school in 1942.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican May 11, 1986: When Geraldine Page won an Oscar for her performance in The Trip to Bountiful , it was more than just another award in the eyes of New Mexico's film commissioner.
