The "Spotlight Gala" benefiting North Coast Repertory Theatre is scheduled for Sunday, April 21st, at the Del Mar Country Club. The evening includes a cocktail reception, gourmet sitdown dinner and entertainment by multi-award winning singer and actor Lainie Kazan. During the course of her storied career, Kazan has received Tony, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominations.
Kazan first gained attention as Barbra Streisand's understudy in the Broadway production of "Funny Girl." She later received a Tony Award nomination for her role in the musical version of "My Favorite Year." A native New York, Kazan appeared in nightclubs and as a guest on virtually every top variety and talk show on television. While appearing at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel, she was noticed by Francis Ford Coppola who offered her a movie role in "One from the Heart." The next year, Kazan was nominated for a Golden Globe Award as "Best Supporting Actress" in Richard Benjamin's "My Favorite Year" with Peter O'Toole. Her many other films include "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."For more in formation on Lainie Kazan visit:
