Geraldine Fitzgerald (1913-2005) was an actor, director, and writer who emigrated from Ireland to New York City 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 (1939). This collection, dating from 1944 to the 1990s (bulk dates 1970s-1990s) primarily documents Fitzgerald's work as a director and writer and, to a lesser extent, as an actor. The musical production Sharon's Grave (later retitled Sharon) is represented heavily in the files. In the early stages of the production, Fitzgerald worked closely with playwright Bill C. Davis. Her Everyman Theatre Company, a Brookyln-based street theatre company co-founded with Franscican monk Jonathan Ringkamp (1929-1986), is also represented in the collection. less
