Debra Winger to Make Her Broadway Debut In David Mamet's "The Anarchist"

One of film's most elusive actresses, Debra Winger, will make her Broadway debut later this year opposite stage legend Patti Lupone, in David Mamet's play The Anarchist.

Winger will play a prison warden. The play is about a former political radical's plea for parole.

Winger has been noticeably missing from films the past decade, except for a showy role as the frosty matriarch in Rachel Getting Married. She made a spectacular film debut in Urban Cowboy, opposite John Travolta.

The actress has three Oscar nominations for Best Actress: Shadowlands, An Officer and a Gentleman, and the Best Picture Oscar winner Terms of Endearment.

For our money, she also made one of our favorite thrillers of all time, as a Federal agent determined to bring sociopathic killer Theresa Russell to justice in Black Widow.
