Celeste Holm, a Trustee and member of The Actors' Fund's Executive Committee and a member of the Advisory Board for The Episcopal Actors' Guild, will be feted during a starry event at The 3 West Club.

A member of the original cast of Oklahoma! — Holm played the girl "Who Cain't Say No," Ado Annie — the veteran actress will be honored for both her career and her dedication to her peers in the entertainment industry.

Celeste Holm's Broadway credentials are numerous. She made her debut in 1938 in the play Gloriana and followed that production with roles in The Time of Your Life, Another Sun, The Return of the Vagabond, Eight O'Clock Tuesday, My Fair Ladies, Papa Is All, All the Comforts of Home, The Damask Cheek, Oklahoma!, Bloomer Girl, Affairs of State, The King and I, Anna Christie, His and Hers, Interlock, Third Best Sport, Invitation to a March, Mame, Candida, Habeas Corpus, The Utter Glory of Morrissey Hall and I Hate Hamlet. Holm's screen credits are equally impressive; the actress received an Academy Award for her performance in "Gentleman's Agreement" and Oscar nominations for her work in "Come to the Stable" and "All About Eve."
