ANSWER: Jessica Tandy won three Tonys ("A Streetcar Named Desire," "The Gin Game," "Foxfire"), but none for "Driving Miss Daisy." In fact, no one did. The play has never been performed on the Great White Way. The original 1987 production was staged off-Broadway and earned Obie Awards for Dana Ivey and Morgan Freeman.
