Broadway to honor Celeste Holm by dimming lights
NEW YORK – The lights on Broadway will be dimmed Wednesday in honor of the late Oscar-winning actress Celeste Holm.
The Broadway League said that theater marquees will go dark at 8 p.m. for one minute in tribute to Holm, who soared to fame onstage in Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" and won an Oscar in "Gentleman's Agreement."
Holm died Sunday at age 95 at her longtime apartment on Central Park West. Her husband, Frank Basile, who had been with the actress for 13 years, said she died in the couple's bed.
