2010 National Arts Awards

Other Details: The Mulleavy sisters keep getting honored at Cipriani 42nd Street! Over the weekend it was the National Design awards, and now a National Art Award. Also, we're thrilled that Angela Lansbury is getting her props this year! What other living actor has made such a mark on so many facets of 20th century pop culture? (Technicolor musicals in the 40s, Children's classics in the 60s, TV in the 80s, Disney in the 90s, Broadway in the 00s..)
