We love the Tony Awards, but we are so happy that Cicely Tyson won last night. I have photographed Cicely over the years around NYC, but my recent visit to her dressing room backstage to her hit Broadway show The Trip To Bountiful, proved that the old timers are pure class. And Cyndi Lauper once again proved that New Yorkers have style and class. 

Congratulations to all the Tony Winners!
