May 29, 2012
This week Fallin captures five-time Tony winner Angela Lansbury, who is currently back on Broadway in the revival of Gore Vidal's The Best Man.
Can you identify the many stage and screen faces of the beloved actress? Answers are below.
Clockwise from center: Lansbury in Mame, "Murder, She Wrote" (with magnifying glass), Blithe Spirit, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd and A Little Night Music.
Ken Fallin began his career as an illustrator by lovingly mimicking the style of the late, legendary Al Hirschfeld for the poster art for Forbidden Broadway. Since that time he has been a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal as well as The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Hollywood Reporter, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and The New Yorker.
His work has illustrated major ad campaigns for American Express, Showtime and Belvedere Vodka. Most recently, he was nominated for a 2010 Emmy for his animated commercial for CNBC.
