During the lunch, Lansbury was also presented with a plaque that Bond 45 owner Shelly Fireman had made especially for the occasion to honor her contribution to the American theater and her generous spirit. The plaque will be permanently displayed at Bond 45.

Lansbury has won Tonys for her work in Mame, Dear World, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd and Blithe Spirit and most recently appeared on Broadway in A Little Night Music. She will next host the annual CFTD Gala at City Center on November 8.
