Lanford Wilson saw Chatty (as we all knew her) as Agnes in his one-act Ludlow Fair opposite Trish Hawkins, và he was so delighted that he wrote The Hot L Baltimore for them.

Before she left for Hollywood, Chatty came baông xã khổng lồ Circle Rep lớn play Gertie, a mesmerizing performance in The Sea Horse, which won her an Obie Award.
Then, she played the breathless, sexually hysterical artist Vee Talbot, the wife of the red-neông xã Sheriff in the Thủ đô New York premiere of Tennessee Williams’ Battle of Angels.
In the early 80’s, she joined an all-star cast in the Ahmanson Theater production of Picnic, as Mrs. Potts, the warm-hearted neighbor of Jennifer Jason Leigh & Rue McClanahan. She reprised her role in the Showtime television version.
