Tony Award nominee Williams and Tyson appeared together in the Tony-nominated 2012 Broadway revival of Bountiful as Jessie Mae Watts and Carrie Watts, respectively. The two reprised their performances in the recent Lifetime Television film adaptation of the poignant play, which also featured Golden Globe nominee Underwood as Ludie Watts.

Tyson won the Tony Award for her performance as Mother Carrie Watts, as well as the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award.
