Frances Sternhagen, who currently stars as Clairee in the Broadway revival of Steel Magnolias, will receive the Women of Achievement Award, at the Women's Project's 20th Annual Women of Achievement Gala on Monday, June 6 at Cipriani 23rd Street.

Sternhagen has received a plethora of awards throughout her long and distinguished acting career.  Recently, she was honored with the Lucille Lortel Organization's 2005 Edith Oliver Award for Sustained Excellence in the Theatre.  Nominated 7 times for a Tony® Award, Sternhagen has received it twice for The Good Doctor and The Heiress.  She has also won the Obie, Clarence Derwent Award, Drama League and Dramatists Guild Awards.

Steel Magnolias, which is written by Robert Harling and directed by Jason Moore, also stars Delta Burke as Truvy, Christine Ebersole as M'Lynn, Rebecca Gayheart as Shelby, Marsha Mason as Ouiser and Lily Rabe as Annelle.  The show is currently playing at the Lyceum Theatre, (149 West 45th Street, east of Broadway).

Steel Magnolias follows the lives of six indomitable Southern women as they share their personal triumphs, tragedies, beauty tips, recipes, and more than the occasional piece of scandalous gossip in Truvy's beauty shop in Chinquapin, Louisiana.

Performances are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm, matinees Wednesdays at 2pm, Saturdays at 2pm and Sundays at 3pm.  Tickets for Steel Magnolias are on sale through Telecharge.com online, by phone at (212) 239-6200, and in person at the Lyceum Theatre box office.
