NEW YORK  Julie Harris, one of Broadway's most honored performers, whose 
roles ranged from the flamboyant Sally Bowles in "I Am a Camera" 
to the reclusive Emily Dickinson in "The Belle of Amherst," died Saturday. 
She was 87.Harris died at her West Chatham, Mass. home of congestive 
heart failure, actress and family friend Francesca James said.Harris won 
a record five Tony Awards for best actress in a play, displaying 
a virtuosity that enabled her to portray an astonishing gallery of women 
during a theater career that spanned almost 60 years and included such 
plays as "The Member of the Wedding" (1950), "The Lark" (1955), "Forty 
Carats" (1968) and "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln" (1972).She was honored again 
with a sixth Tony, a special lifetime achievement award in 2002. Only 
Angela Lansbury has neared her record, winning four Tonys in the best 
actress-musical category and one for best supporting actress in a play.Harris 
had suffered a stroke in 2001 while she was in Chicago appearing 
in a production of Claudia Allen's "Fossils." She suffered another stroke 
in 2010, James said."I'm still in sort of a place of shock," 
said James, who appeared in daytime soap operas "All My Children" and 
"One Life to Live.""She was, really, the greatest influence in my life," 
said James, who had known Harris for about 50 years.Television viewers knew 
Harris as the free-spirited Lilimae Clements on the prime-time soap opera 
"Knots Landing." In the movies, she was
 James Dean's romantic co-star in 
"East of Eden" (1955), and had rolls in such films as "Requiem 
for a Heavyweight" (1962), "The Haunting" (1963) and "Reflections in a Golden 
Eye" (1967).Yet Harris' biggest successes and most satisfying moments have 
been on stage. "The theater has been my church," the actress once 
said. "I don't hesitate to say that I found God in the 
theater."The 5-foot-4 Harris, blue-eyed with delicate features and reddish-gold 
hair, made her Broadway debut in 1945 in a short-lived play called 
"It's a Gift." Five years later, at the age of 24, Harris 
was cast as Frankie, a lonely 12-year-old tomboy on the brink of 
adolescence, in "The Member of the Wedding," Carson McCullers' stage version 
of her wistful novel.The critics raved about Harris, with Brooks Atkinson 
in The New York Times calling her performance "extraordinary -- vibrant, 
full of anguish and elation.""That play was really the beginning of everything 
big for me," Harris had said.The actress appeared in the 1952 film 
version, too, with her original Broadway co-stars, Ethel Waters and Brandon 
De Wilde, and received an Academy Award nomination.Harris won her first 
Tony Award for playing Sally Bowles, the confirmed hedonist in "I Am 
a Camera," adapted by John van Druten from Christopher Isherwood's "Berlin 
Stories." The play later became the stage and screen musical "Cabaret." 
In her second Tony-winning performance, Harris played a much more spiritual 
charact
