In 1970 she made her musical comedy debut as Margo Channing in Applause! based on the film All About Eve, winning her first Tony Award, and which was followed by a year long tour across America. She went on to play that role for over a year on London's West End and for television, garnering an Emmy Award nomination and an Evening Standard Award. After a summer tour of the musical Wonderful Town, she returned to Broadway to star in the Kander & Ebb musical Woman of the Year for which she won a second Tony Award and enjoyed a second national tour.
