Celeste Holm, beloved of theater fans as the original Ado Annie in Oklahoma! and to movie buffs for her work in such films as Gentleman’s Agreement and All About Eve, celebrated her 90th birthday with a party at Tony’s Di Napoli. Here’s the lovely lady with the portrait that will go on the restaurant’s Wall of Fame.
Among the revelers on hand for the happy occasion: Holm’s husband, Frank Basile…
…legendary newscaster Walter Cronkite and legendary theater star Elaine Stritch…
…the fabulous Marian Seldes, who stopped by right before her matinee of Deuce…
…as did her co-star in the show, the one-and-only Angela Lansbury.
The many other luminaries in attendance included Grey Gardens stars Christine Ebersole and Bob Stillman…
…another great old-time star of stage and screen, Taina Elg…
…the world-famous artist Leroy Neiman…
…Tony Award winner Fritz Weaver, who returned to the stage earlier this year in the Atlantic Theater Company’s production of The Voysey Inheritance…
…and the hilarious Bruce Vilanch and Hazelle Goodman, who are currently co-starring downtown in Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell.
