Trivia
ADD TRIVIA-
In 1995, Swoosie was nominated for a SAG Award for "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series" for Sisters.
-
Swoosie was criticized for her role in Bubble Boy, by a group of doctors and parents, along with the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Their stance was that the movie was no laughing matter, and was lead by Marcia Boyle, mother of a 23 year-old boy with primary immunodeficiency disorder. A boycott of the film has been called for, and a request to Disney has been made to pull it from distribution.
-
Swoosie was awarded Broadway's 'Triple Crown', the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle awards for her portrayal of Gwen in Lanford Wilson's The Fifth of July.
