NO. They should but frankly that Charlotte person only wants people modern audiences will recognize.' To keep it from cheapening the tribute' or some such hoo hah.
I had no idea she was still alive. If anyone deserves the honor, it's her. She's one of the last remaining stars of that era of Broadway history. How many people alive today can say they worked directly with Cole Porter, Al Jolson, Alfred Drake, Yul Bryner in the original production of King and I, et al.?

I’m sad to see her go, but I will echo the above comments saying that she lived a long and full life - she will certainly be missed, but passing on at 103 is not a tragedy or something that I will despair over. She made great contributions to the theatre and her performances live on. What a great lady. We were lucky to have her.
Rest In Peace, Ms. Morison. See you on the other side.
