New York City's Broadway theaters plan to dim the lights on Saturday evening in tribute to the late actress Angela Lansbury, who died this week. She was 96.
The Committee of Theatre Owners will dim the lights for one minute at 7:45 p.m. in her honor, the Broadway League said in a statement.
"Angela Lansbury was without a doubt one of Broadway's most endearing leading actresses and her influence in the world of musical theatre will forever live on," said Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin. "We think of her as Broadway royalty and a member of our family, while recognizing that Hollywood thinks of her the same way."
Lansbury made her Broadway debut in the 1957 play "Hotel Paradiso" and was nominated for seven Tony Awards, winning five for her performances in "Mame" , "Dear World" , "Gypsy" , "Sweeney Todd" and "Blithe Spirit" .
