LANSBURY SET TO TIE TONY AWARDS RECORD

MURDER, SHE WRTOTE star ANGELA LANSBURY will make Tony Awards history if she lands a Best Featured Actress prize - she'll tie with JULIE HARRIS for the most acting awards.
Lansbury, who has hosted the U.S. theatre awards more than anyone else, is nominated as a Best Actress in A Play for her role in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit.
Awards news website GoldDerby.com notes Lansbury has already won four Best Lead Actress in A Musical honours - for Mame, Dear World, Gypsy and Sweeney Todd - and a fifth win would tie Harris' feat.
The Tonys will be handed out on 7 June (09) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The nominations were announced early on Tuesday (05May09).
