Tyne Daly expected to make 'full recovery' after hospitalization on 'Doubt' preview day
Tyne Daly is expected to make a full recovery after an unexpected hospitalization forced her to drop out of the Broadway revival of “Doubt.”
The 77-year-old Broadway veteran, who was slated to play Sister Aloysius in the Roundabout Theatre Company production of John Patrick Shanley’s Tony Award-winning play, was admitted to the hospital on Feb. 2 because of an undisclosed health issue.
“On behalf of the cast and crew of Doubt, and the entire Roundabout family, we are elated that Tyne is on the mend and on her way to a full recovery,” the show’s director, Scott Ellis, said Friday.
A previous release from the production company said Daly “was unexpectedly hospitalized … and unfortunately needs to withdraw from the production while she receives medical care.”
