Shirley Booth's performance in the movie

Come Back, Little Sheeba is off the charts. I'd never seen this movie but have always heard about it. I just watched it a couple of days ago.

What an poignant portrayal of the human condition.

Yes. Hazel (in which she won two Emmys for). And she won three Tony's.
