The award-winning performer received the Friars Club's most prestigious accolade, their Icon Award. The Entertainment Icon Award pays tribute to an individual whose accomplishments transcend the entertainment industry by positively redefining the very culture we live in. Bennett will join superstars Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra as the sixth Entertainment Icon Award recipient since the Friars launched in 1904. Alvin Malnik was also honored with the Icon Award for philanthropy and Stephen Weintraub received the Friar of the Year Award.
