The 96-year-old Broadway legend was honored Sunday with the Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, during the 75th ceremony at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Lansbury is well-known for her roles both in film/television (in particular, Murder, She Wrote) and on stage, having won four Tonys between the time she appeared as Mame Dennis in 1966’s Mame and Mrs. Lovett in 1979’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Did Angela Lansbury attend the Tony Awards?
Lansbury first appeared on Broadway in 1957, in a farce called “Hotel Paradiso,” and in 1964 she starred in her first Broadway musical, “Anyone Can Whistle.” She landed her breakout Broadway role, starring as the free-spirited title character in “Mame” in 1966. She won her first Tony Award for that performance.
In 2022, Lansbury was not in attendance to receive the honor, but the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus performed a tribute to the star, as audience members in attendance cheered on the actress.
