Catwoman’s `Journey,’ `Angry’ keeps going

Lee Meriwether has had a long, distinguished career that stretches from her beauty queen days as Miss San Francisco, Miss California and eventually Miss America in the mid-'50s to her stint alongside Buddy Ebsen on TV's "Barnaby Jones" in the '70s.

But Meriwether will probably always be best known for playing Catwoman in the 1966 movie version of Batman.

A graduate of the Community College of San Francisco, Meriwether is back on her old stomping grounds in one of American drama's toughest roles: drug-addicted matriarch Mary Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night.

The production, directed by Susan Jackson, a board member of the Danville-based Eugene O'Neill Foundation, continues at 8 p.m. Nov. 20-22 and 2 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Diego Rivera Theatre, 50 Phelan Ave., San Francisco. Tickets are $15 general, $10 for students. Call 415-452-5185.
