[edit] Bits to add

I'm a little too tired to do it right now, but ... here's a bunch of relevant sources to use to expand on Crowns:

• Helen Hayes Awards Resident Production - doesn't include 2004, the year she won
• http://www.curtainup.com/hhawrds2004.html - mentions that "Crowns" won "Best Resident Musical" and Taylor won "Outstanding Director of a Resident Musical" in 2004
• Weekend Edition interview on NPR, 2002
• Tavis Smiley Show interview, NPR, 2002
• List of all her plays - says Millenium Mambo became Urban Zulu Mambo
• Hats Entertainment: Crowns by Regina Taylor, review by Michael Feingold, Village Voice, December 4 - 10, 2002
• A CurtainUp review of Crowns

I have a number of other bio links in a file I was doing for the article on 1981's Crisis at Central High, which is consistently listed as her first professional acting appearance (although she actually appeared in a TV-movie called Nurses in 1980 — not to be confused with the NBC sitcom of the same name). I'll try to post the list OR add the info to the article soon.

By the way, where does "raised in Oklahoma" come from? I'm listening to NPR interviews that say "raised in Dallas" right there in the intro, and everything I've read in the last day or so while editing related articles says she was raised in Dallas. Do we have a source for Oklahoma? Lawikitejana 08:02, 4 November 2006 (UTC), always glad to find Dallasites who make her proud

Raised might have been too far, but several sources quote her as saying she attended school in Muskogee, Oklahoma.[1][2]. That's what I confirm, I'll alter it as appropriate.--T. Anthony 10:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
