Welcome to The Actors Fund’s 15th Annual Los Angeles Tony Awards® Party at the beautiful Skirball Cultural Center. We are thrilled that tonight’s event is hosted by the luminous Marilu Henner.

We have an exciting party planned for you this afternoon. Not only do we have the only live feed of the annual Tony Awards® but we also honor a genuine treasure of our profession, Hal Holbrook, with the prestigious Julie Harris Award. It is fitting that Oscar® winner Sean Penn will be on hand to present the award to Mr. Holbrook.

Past recipients include Julie Harris, Gwen Verdon, Charles Durning, Tyne Daly, Lauren Bacall, Carol Channing, Rita Moreno, James Earl Jones, Stockard Channing, Liza Minnelli, Jerry Herman, Tommy Tune, Chita Rivera and Brian Stokes Mitchell.

There are many individuals and organizations to thank – all who have donated their time, talent and resources to make this event possible. First and foremost, a special thank you to Tony Awards® Productions, The American Theatre Wing, The Broadway League and CBS for allowing us to bring this live telecast to the West Coast. Thank you to our generous sponsors – United Airlines (the official airline of The Actors Fund), Actors’ Equity Association, DIRECTV, Sextant Wines, Staging Techniques and Wells Fargo.

We all know the erratic and volatile nature of the entertainment business. A TV series can be abruptly cancelled and a long running stage show can come to an end – threatening our homes, health insurance and security. The Actors Fund is always ready during these uncertain times. The Fund’s essential and unique programs are available to everyone who works in television, film, theatre, music, opera, radio and dance in times of need, crisis or transition. Your generosity, and the generosity of all the artists involved in today’s Tony Awards® Party, allows The Fund to assist performing arts and entertainment professionals when they are confronted with unexpected and difficult challenges. You make all of this possible and we thank you.

We are very happy you’re here. Enjoy the evening!

HAL HOLBROOK Academy Award-nominated actor Hal Holbrook was born in Cleveland in 1925, but raised mostly in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. His people had settled there in 1635 and were, according to his grandfather, “some kind of criminals from England.” His mother disappeared when he was two, his father followed suit, so young Holbrook and his two sisters were raised by their grandfather. It was only later he found out that his mother had gone into show business.

Holbrook, being the only boy, was the “white hope of the family.” Sent away at the age of 7 to one of the finer New England schools, he was beaten regularly by a Dickensian headmaster who, when forced to retire, committed suicide.

But when he was 12 he was sent to Culver Military Academy, where he discovered acting as an escape from his disenchantment with authority. While not the model cadet, he believes Culver saved his life.

In the summer of 1942 he got his first paid professional engagement playing the son in The Man Who Came To Dinner at the Cain Park Theatre in Cleveland at $15.00 per week. That fall, he entered Denison University in Ohio, majoring in Theatre under the tutelage of his lifelong mentor, Edward A. Wright. World War II pulled him out of there and put him into the Army Engineers for three years. The Mark Twain characterization grew out of an honors project at Denison University after the War. Holbrook and his first wife, Ruby, had constructed a two-person show, playing characters from Shakespeare to Twain. After graduation they toured the school assembly circuit in the Southwest doing 307 shows in thirty weeks and traveling 30,000 miles by station wagon. On winter mornings in the Texas panhandle they opened their trunks to find frost on the costumes. Their audiences ranged widely in age, were often unruly, and they learned to survive on stage or perish.

Death of a Salesman (1996)

King Lear (1990)

Holbrook’s first solo performance as Mark Twain was at the Lock Haven State Teachers College in Pennsylvania in 1954. The show was his desperate alternative to selling hats or running elevators to keep his family alive.

By then he had a daughter, Victoria.

That same year, fortune struck by way of a steady job on a daytime television soap opera, The Brighter Day, but the following year Holbrook pursued the Twain character at night in a Greenwich Village night club while doing the soap daytimes. In seven months at the club he developed his original two hours of material and learned timing. He learned lines for the soap opera on the rear platform of the 7th Avenue subway train between 104th Street and Sheridan Square. Finally, Ed Sullivan saw him and gave his Twain national television exposure.

In 1959, after five years of researching Mark Twain and honing his material in front of countless audiences in small towns all over America, he opened at a tiny theatre off-Broadway in New York. He was a stunning success, as stunning to Holbrook

as anyone else. “The critics went wild.”

(Associated Press). “Mr. Holbrook’s material is uproarious, his ability to hold an audience by acting is brilliant.” (New York Times).

“Uncanny. A dazzling display of virtuosity.”

(The New Yorker). “One of the treasures of the American Theatre.” (Life Magazine). The white hope of the family had finally arrived.

Holbrook quit the soap opera. After a twenty-two week run in New York he toured the country again, performed for President Eisenhower and at the Edinburgh Festival.

The State Department sent him on a tour of Europe, during which he became the first American dramatic attraction to go behind the Iron Curtain following World War II. He was a star who had never appeared in a Broadway play, a nighttime television show or a movie. He was 36 years old and had to jump start a new career.

When David Merrick offered him co-star billing playing an 80-year-old Mexican bandit in a new Broadway musical, Holbrook turned it down in favor of younger roles, concerned that he was being typecast as an old man.

He played Hotspur in Henry IV, Pt.I at the Shakespeare Festival Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut; then Lincoln in Abe Lincoln In Illinois off-Broadway. In 1963 he joined the original Lincoln Center Repertory Company in New York appearing in Marco Millions, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy and Tartuffe. Word got around that he could act his own age.

Starring roles on Broadway came along: The Glass Menagerie, The Apple Tree, I Never Sang For My Father, Man of La Mancha, Does A Tiger Wear A Necktie? with the young Al Pacino.

Meanwhile, he continued to do Mark Twain every year and in 1966, on Broadway, his second New York engagement won him a Tony Award and a Drama Critics’ Circle Award followed in 1967 by a ninety-minute CBS television special of Mark Twain Tonight! which was nominated for an Emmy Award and seen by an audience of 22 million.

In 1970, after a dozen plays in New York, he was brought to Hollywood to star in a

Pueblo (1973)

The Senator (1970)

controversial television series, The Senator, which won 8 Emmy Awards and was cancelled in one year. But his new career had taken off. In the 36 years since then Mr. Holbrook has done some 50 television movies and mini-series, been nominated for 13 Emmys and won 5 for The Senator (1971), Pueblo (1974), Best Actor Of The Year (1974), Sandburg’s Lincoln (1976), and as host and narrator of Portrait Of America (1989).

He has appeared in two sitcoms: Designing Women and Evening Shade, and has made guest appearances on The West Wing, the sitcoms Becker and Hope & Faith, The Sons of Anarchy, The Event, ER, The Sopranos and NCIS. Holbrook’s movie career began with The Group in 1966 when When Hell Was In Session (1979) he was 41 years old. Since then, moviegoers have seen him in nearly 40 films including Magnum Force, Midway, All The President’s Men, Julia, Capricorn One, The Fog, Star Chamber, Creepshow, Wall Street, The Firm, The Bachelor, Waking The Dead, Men of Honor, The Majestic, Shade, Killshot, That Evening Sun. Upcoming feature films include Water for Elephants, Good For It, Savannah. In 2008, he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for Into the Wild written and directed by Sean Penn.

Throughout his long career, Holbrook has continued to perform Mark Twain every year, including his third and fourth New York engagements in 1977 and 2005; and a world tour in 1985, the 150th anniversary of Mark Twain’s birth, beginning in London and ending in New Delhi. And he has constantly returned to the stage: in New York (Buried Inside Extra, 1983; The Country Girl, 1984; King Lear, 1990; An American Daughter, 1997); at regional theatres (Our Town, Uncle Vanya, The Merchant of Venice, King Lear, A Life in the Theatre, Be My Baby and Southern Comforts - the last two with his wife Dixie Carter); and a national tour of Death of a Salesman.

But Holbrook has never been able to quit Mark Twain and probably never will. He has toured the show in some part of every year since 1954, with over 2,100 performances, making 2007 the 57th consecutive year for this remarkable one man show. Mark Twain Tonight! has become perhaps the longest running show in theatre history. Holbrook adds to his Twain material every year, editing and changing it to fit the times and has mined over sixteen hours of Twain with more coming all the time. He has no set program – he chooses material as he goes along.

Holbrook is a sailor. In June 1980, he competed in the Single-handed Transpac Race from San Francisco to Hawaii in his 40-foot sailboat, Yankee Tar, sailing 2400 miles alone. With one or two friends, he has sailed through the South Pacific to Tahiti, Samoa, the Tongas, New Zealand and the Fiji Islands.

Holbrook has received Honorary Doctor of Humanities Degrees from Ohio State and the University of Hartford, an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Ursinus College, an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Elmira College and Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts Degrees from Kenyon and his alma mater, Denison University. In 1996 he received the Edwin Booth Award and in 1998 the William Shakespeare Award from The Shakespeare Theatre, Washington, DC. In 2000 he was inducted into the New York Theatre Hall of Fame; and in 2003 received the National Humanities Medal from President Bush.

He lives in Los Angeles and Tennessee in homes he shared with his beloved wife, actress/ singer Dixie Carter before her passing. Together they have five children.

MARILU HENNER With the energy of a teenager and the wisdom of a sage, Marilu Henner has deservedly earned the nickname “Perpetual Motion.” Along with starring in over thirty films, six Broadway shows, and two hit classic sitcoms, Taxi and Evening Shade, this five-time Golden Globe nominee is also a New York Times best-selling author of eight books on health, fitness, and lifestyle improvement, changing the lives of millions in her quest to make the world a healthier place. She also has hosted and executive-produced talk shows, appeared as a competitor on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, and hosted and guest-starred on many TV shows in addition to being Talk Show Guest of the Year!

As one of six people documented with superior autobiographical memory, Marilu was recently the subject of a two-part special on 60 Minutes. She will next appear in the feature film Vamps scheduled for release this summer and as the host of the new series Here’s To Your Health! later this year. She also serves as the consultant on the new CBS series Unforgettable, which premieres this fall. Marilu was a pioneer on the Internet, starting her own website, Marilu.com, in 1999. She has taught classes for her growing membership ever since, as well as offering online counseling and support.

Marilu has spoken before Congress in Washington on several occasions as an expert on dietary supplements, women’s cardiovascular disease, deadbeat parents, and she was one of only two private citizens selected to contribute to the shaping of our Government’s food pyramid. Last spring she again faced Congress to present healthy dietary guidelines for kids as part of the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2010.

Marilu lectures frequently throughout the country as a keynote speaker and motivator for professional organizations, universities, government agencies, interest groups, and corporations on topics ranging from diet and fitness, women’s health issues, cardiovascular disease, cancer survival, and child rearing; as well as lifestyle, entertainment, and business organization strategies.

Marilu Henner is married to Michael Brown, CEO and Founder of Browntrout Publishers, (a calendar company) and the busy mother of two teenage boys, Nick and Joey. Because she practices what she preaches, Marilu has truly become the quintessential portrait of what health and fitness can do for one’s life, and she loves to give back to her community in so many ways!

SEAN PENN Two-time Academy Award® winner Sean Penn has become an American film icon in a career spanning nearly three decades. Penn has been nominated five times for the Academy Award® as Best Actor for Dead Man Walking, Sweet and Lowdown, I Am Sam and won his first Oscar® in 2003 for his searing performance in Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River and his second Oscar® as Best Actor in 2009 for Gus Van Sant’s Milk. The performance as gay rights icon Harvey Milk also garnered Penn “Best Actor” awards from The Screen Actors Guild, New York Film Critics Circle and Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

Penn has also received Best Actor awards at the Cannes (She’s So Lovely) and Berlin (Dead Man Walking) Film Festivals, as well as being a two-time winner of Best Actor honors at the Venice Film Festival (Hurlyburly, 21 Grams). Penn can currently be seen in Doug Liman’s drama Fair Game opposite Naomi Watts and in Terrence Malick’s drama The Tree of Life Image by Chuck Zlotnick opposite Brad Pitt.

He recently wrapped production on Paolo Sorrentino’s This Must Be The Place.

Penn’s feature film directorial debut came with 1991’s The Indian Runner, which he also wrote and produced.

In 1995, he directed The Crossing Guard, which he also wrote and produced. His third film as director/ producer was 2001’s The Pledge starring Jack Nicholson and was named in the Top Ten Films of 2001 by The National Board of Review. Since then, Penn wrote and directed the United States contribution to the compilation film 11’09’01. This important project gathered 11 acclaimed directors from around the world to create short films in response to the

horrific events of September 11, 2001. In 2003 the film was nominated for a French Cesar in the best European Union Film category and received a special recognition award from the National Board of Review. As writer, producer and director, Into the Wild marked Penn’s fourth feature film, which opened to rave reviews in September 2007. The film, based on Jon Krakauer’s best-selling non-fiction book, premiered at the Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals and appeared on many lists of the top ten films of 2007.

Penn has appeared on stage in productions including Alfred Hayes’ Girl on the Via Flaminia and Albert Innaurato’s Earthworms in Los Angeles. On Broadway, Penn performed in Kevin Heelan’s Heartland and John Byrne’s Slab Boys. He appeared in David Rabe’s Hurlyburly, at the Westwood Playhouse, and Goose and Tom Tom, at Lincoln Center, both productions directed by the author. Most recently, Penn starred opposite Nick Nolte and Woody Harrelson in The Late Henry Moss, written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Sam Shepard.

In 2002, Sean Penn was presented with the Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and in 2003, became the youngest recipient to ever receive the Donostia Lifetime Achievement Award from the San Sebastian Film Festival. In 2004, he was honored with the John Steinbeck Award for outspoken torchbearers in the creative arts. In 2008, Penn received the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Acting, after being presented in 2007 with the Director of the Year Award for “Into the Wild” from the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Penn served as President of the jury for the 2008 Cannes International Film Festival and later that year was named a Knight in the French Legion of Honor.

As a journalist, Penn has written for Time, Interview, Rolling Stone and The Nation magazines. In 2004, Penn wrote a two-part feature in The San Francisco Chronicle after a second visit to war-torn Iraq. In 2005, he wrote a five-part feature in the same paper reporting from Iran during the election which led to the Ahmadinejad regime. Penn’s landmark interviews with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and Cuba’s President Raul Castro, were published in The Nation and The Huffington Post. Penn’s interview with President Castro was the first-ever interview with an international journalist.

Penn’s humanitarian work has found him in New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and more recently in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. In January 2010, Penn founded the J/P Haitian Relief Organization which focuses on medical aid, protection, and re-location. His organization is currently serving as UN IOM designated Camp Management for the largest IDP camp in Port-au-Prince and established the first emergency re-location in the country. For his efforts, Penn received the Commander’s Award for Service (US Army 82nd Airborne Division), 82nd Airborne Award for Meritorious Service, the Operation Unified Response JTF Haiti Certificate from Lieutenant General, US Army Commander P.K. Keen, along with the 1st Recon 73rd Division Coin of Excellence, 2nd Brigade Combat Team Coin of Excellence, Commendation of Excellence United States Southern Command, and Award of Excellence by the Deputy Commander US Southern Command. Earlier this year, Penn was honored with the “Children’s and Families Global Development Fund Humanitarian Award” presented by the Ambassador of the Republic of Haiti, Raymond A. Joseph and his wife, Lola Poisson-Joseph. In July 2010 Penn was knighted by Haitian President Rene Preval in a ceremony in Port-au-Prince. Penn recently received the 2010 Hollywood Humanitarian Award from the Hollywood Film Festival and the 2011 Stanley Kramer Award from the Producers Guild of America.
