<P> The play was inspired by Alfred Uhry's grandmother, Lena Fox, her chauffeur, Will Coleman, and his father . His grandmother, a Jewish woman who lived in Atlanta during the 1960s, had to give up driving after a car accident, and hired Coleman, who drove her for 25 years . </P> <P> Uhry wrote his Atlanta Trilogy based on his own experiences living in Atlanta as a Jew . He set his three plays at "historic moments in the city's twentieth century--the 1915 lynching of Leo Frank, the 1939 Gone With the Wind premiere, the 1958 Temple bombing, and the city's 1964 dinner honoring Martin Luther King's Nobel Peace Prize ." The plays are Driving Miss Daisy, The Last Night of Ballyhoo, and Parade . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Character </Th> <Th> 1987 Off - Broadway cast </Th> <Th> 1st National Tour cast </Th> <Th> 2nd National Tour cast </Th> <Th> 1989 Film cast </Th> <Th> Original West End cast </Th> <Th> 2010 Broadway cast </Th> <Th> West End revival cast </Th> <Th> Australian Tour Cast </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Daisy Werthan </Th> <Td> Dana Ivey </Td> <Td> Julie Harris </Td> <Td> Rosemary Prinz </Td> <Td> Jessica Tandy </Td> <Td> Wendy Hiller </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Vanessa Redgrave </Td> <Td> Angela Lansbury </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Hoke Coleburn </Th> <Td> Morgan Freeman </Td> <Td> Brock Peters </Td> <Td> Ted Lange </Td> <Td> Morgan Freeman </Td> <Td> Clarke Peters </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> James Earl Jones </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Boolie Werthan </Th> <Td> Ray Gill </Td> <Td> Stephen Root </Td> <Td> Fred Sanders </Td> <Td> Dan Aykroyd </Td> <Td> Barry Foster </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> Boyd Gaines </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Character </Th> <Th> 1987 Off - Broadway cast </Th> <Th> 1st National Tour cast </Th> <Th> 2nd National Tour cast </Th> <Th> 1989 Film cast </Th> <Th> Original West End cast </Th> <Th> 2010 Broadway cast </Th> <Th> West End revival cast </Th> <Th> Australian Tour Cast </Th> </Tr>
