Lena Horne to have Broadway theater named after her
NEW YORK - It's a huge honor for a legendary actress.
On Nov. 1, the Lena Horne Theatre will be officially dedicated.
Horne was a star of the stage and screen who made her Broadway debut in 1934.
When the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on West 47th Street is renamed, it will be a first for an African-American woman.
The actress received a special Tony Award in 1981 for her sold-out show "Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music."
She died in 2010 at age 92.
