NEW YORK (AP) - Lights will be dimmed on Broadway in memory of Phyllis Newman, a Tony Award-winning performer who died last Sunday at 86.
The lights on the Great White Way will disappear at about 7 p.m. just after sunset.
Newman died in New York after complications from a longtime lung disorder.
She won the 1962 Tony for best supporting actress in the musical “Subways Are for Sleeping,” with lyrics co-written by her late husband, Adolph Green. Newman earned a Tony nomination in 1987 for her performance in the Neil Simon play “Broadway Bound.”
She also starred in various television and film productions.
