Rising to stardom on her dazzling smile and comedic timing, her stage credits also include “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” (1949), “Lorelei” (1974), “Sugar Babies” (1980) and “Jerry’s Girls” (1984). Channing’s Broadway success led to many television appearances and movie roles, most notably, the film version of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (1967), which landed her a Golden Globe Award. She was the recipient of many other prestigious honors, including two additional Tony Awards for Special Achievement (1968 and 1995) and the Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004). Distinguished as the first celebrity to perform at a Super Bowl halftime show in 1970, Channing was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981.
