Photo Flash: Lansbury & Seldes Meet Tennis Stars

One of tennis' all time greatest women's doubles teams, Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver, recently met with one of the theater's most treasured female duos, Marian Seldes and Angela Lansbury, following a special performance of Deuce, which benefited the USTA Tennis & Education Foundation. 

The Terrence McNally play features Seldes and Lansbury as two retired female tennis doubles partners who meet years later at the US Open, and try to make sense of their professional and personal relationship.  During the exclusive talk back following the performance, Seldes remarked to the room full of tennis aficionados that there was an excitement in the air that evening and it felt like opening night all over again.

In her 60-plus year career on stage, film and television, Lansbury received four Tony Awards for her starring roles in Mame, Dear World, Gypsy and Sweeney Todd, three Academy Award nominations for Gaslight (her screen debut), The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Manchurian Candidate, and 18 Emmy Award nominations, including 12 for her long-running television series, "Murder, She Wrote."  Seldes won a Tony for A Delicate Balance, and has been nominated for her performances in Father's Day, Deathtrap, Ring Round the Moon, and Dinner at Eight. She has also been seen in McNally's Dedication, or the Stuff of Dreams.
