Katie Finneran: Million-Dollar Diamond Gal
NEW YORK (CBS) Actress Katie Finneran said she was "wearing about a million dollars worth of diamonds" from Fred Leighton for the ceremony at which she won a Tony Award on Sunday night.
In the press room, Finneran, who took home the award for best featured actress in a musical, credited Angela Lansbury as one of the reasons she got into theater and said hearing her speak before the award was given out was "emotional."

She also said she and co-stars Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth "have laughs every day" at performances of their musical "Promises, Promises."
Will anything change now that she is a Tony winner? Well, she said, maybe she might get more kisses from the chorus boys.
