Channing, Stockard [née Susan Stockard] (b. 1944), actress. The New Yorker was educated at Harvard and made her acting debut in Boston in 1966. She came to Broadway in 1971 in the chorus of the musical
Two Gentlemen of Verona, then after performing for several seasons in California, she replaced the leading lady in
They're Playing Our Song. By the 1980s Channing was one of the most lauded actresses in New York, giving such memorable performances as the tormented mother Sheila in
Joe Egg (1985), the flaky Bunny in
The House of Blue Leaves (1986), the depressed Susan in
Woman in Mind (1988), the upper‐class Ouisa in
Six Degrees of Separation (1990), the mastermind Elizabeth in
Hapgood (1994), the scheming Regina in
The Little Foxes (1997), and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine in
The Lion in Winter (1999).
Times critic Frank
Rich commented that her Ouisa “steadily gained gravity as she journeys flawlessly from the daffy comedy of a fatuous dinner party to the harrowing internal drama of her own rebirth.”
