Mad About Madigan

When directors want a likable toughie, they get Amy Madigan, the wiry dynamo who, from Field of Dreams to TV's Roe vs. Wade, inevitably gets a chance to tell everyone off. "Are yon trying to say I have a big mouth?" she laughs when this is suggested. The actress (ivho is married to Ed Harris) won't necessarily be any less confrontational playing Stella opposite Jessica Lange and Alec Baldwin in Broadivay's revival of A Streetcar Named Desire. "The scratch factor we can find pretty easily, " she says, making an angry cat noise. "These women are sisters, but my character just says, 'Bye. I'm not gonna go down with the sinking ship.'
