DL patron saints

I just saw a photo of this actress and if there was ever a photo that would capture the DL and/or one of its heroes/heroines, this would be it.

Who do YOU think is, or should be, a patron saint of the DL?

PS this was Cathleen Nesbitt - an old sitcom from the 60s was the show.

PS: It was less the actress, and more The Look: The hair, the lit cigarette. Very "Mom" of a certain era.

Not a tour, a Broadway revival also with Rex Harrison. I was in NYC and got to see a performance during the run. When Cathleen Nesbitt entered the stage during the first act, after the “Ascot Gavotte” number, the audience gave her a standing ovation.
