Vivian Reed Honoring Lena Horne In Limited Run Of Performances
Lena Horne's career in Hollywood spanned more than seven decades. She was also figurehead on Broadway. In honor of what would have been Horne's 100th birthday, Tony-nominated actress and singer Vivian Reed is honoring her legacy in a four-show series at Feinstein's 54 Below.
Reed explains why Horne was such an important role model for her. When Reed was just starting her career, she says was given a number of fabulous dresses from Horne, and she never forgot it. Years later when Horne made her Broadway debut, Reed finally met the woman she had admired for so long.
Reed also shares her favorite shows on Broadway and the modern artist she most admires. You're going to have to "listen" to find out who it is.
