Of her performance as Amanda Wingfield in "The Glass Menagerie" at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (directed by Robert Cuccioli) Variety critic Robert Daniels said of her, "She is one of the finest Amanda Wingfield's in memory and can proudly take her place alongside the memorable Amandas in this critic's experience: Helen Hayes, Jessica Tandy, Julie Harris, and Maureen Stapleton." Wendy's great-great Aunt Elisabeth Risdon and Uncle Brandon Evans were members of the Theatre Guild and worked with such theatre figures as Alfred Lunt and Lyn Fontanne, Helen Hayes, and J.B.
