As we all know, the Martin Beck Theater in New York has been renamed for the great caricaturist and Nina-hider, Al Hirschfeld. Here's one of the few news reports I can find about the renaming that includes a photo of the new marquee.
It's a lovely gesture for a lovely man. (I had the honor of sitting for Mr. Hirschfeld a few years ago when he sketched me and just to be in his presence for a few hours was a joy.) But why couldn't they have done this when he was still around to see it?
I'm sorry. That's the last time I'm going to whine about this.
