Tony
Curtis congratulates Carol Channing at the Detroit Fisher
Theater
The second annual Apple Award was given to legendary
Broadway performer Carol Channing in a ceremony at the
Fisher Theatre last week.
The
award, a crystal apple, is named after the late Sarah
Applebaum Nederlander, matriarch of the Nederlander
theater family that owns and operates theaters in Detroit
and New York. The award raises money for Wayne State
University's College of Fine, Performing and Communication
Arts. The 200 guests were expected to equal or surpass
last year's donations of $75,000.
Tony
Curtis paid a surprise visit to congratulate Channing.
Curtis is currently starring at the Fisher in "Some
Like It Hot," which guests saw after their early
evening strolling supper.
In
a brief ceremony on the grand staircase, Channing, who
is 81, looked smashing in a black velvet backless gown
as she held the award.
"Apple
will be with me always," she told the enthralled
audience.

City at the open air Starlight Theatre was a wonderful
adventure. The performances were enhanced by the surrounding
Mother Nature. In spite of threats of rain several
nights, only one performance was interrupted. After
a pause for a brief downpour, the show picked up were
it left off and continued to a warm and rousing reception.
