After Sunday night’s Tony travesty—Scarlett Johansson and Catherine Zeta-Jones both won awards(Angela Lansbury and Valerie Harper were better)?!—Natasha Vargas-Cooper can no longer stay silent. “Hollywood actresses need to stay the hell away from the theater,” she writes on Salon. “Those women belong to the world of perfect studio lighting, multiple takes, and on-location shoots.” The theater actress has to give memorable performances night after night, while “film actresses are objects in a big shiny machine that can be reproduced in perpetuity."Broadway wannabes like Scarlett are “snuffing out the dreams of girls belting out Little Shop in their teenage bedrooms across America. Why struggle to be a bit player to the Chekhov matriarch when Ashlee Simpson can just put in a call to her publicist and dabble in a bit of theee-tahhh?”
