In Death of a Salesman, 2026 Tony winner Laurie Metcalf played Linda Loman.
Metcalf won Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for her performance as Linda, the wife of traveling salesman Willy Loman in Arthur Miller’s drama.
The 2026 production was a revival of Death of a Salesman and became the ceremony’s most-awarded show, winning six Tonys. Metcalf’s award was one of several acting and production honors collected by the revival.
The role is distinct from the leading actress nominees in Oedipus, Fallen Angels, Bug, and Liberation. It is also separate from the production’s leading-actor race, in which John Lithgow won for Giant.
