Zeta-Jones Among Brit Winners At Tony Awards

  

  Just days after being honoured with a CBE, Catherine Zeta Jones has won a Tony award.

  The British-born star was awarded best actress in a musical for her role as Desiree in Steven Sondheim's A Little Night Music.

  Dressed in a light blue Versace gown, she gave her film star husband a nod in her acceptance speech.

  Pointing to Michael Douglas she said: "See that man there? He's a movie star and I get to sleep with him every night."

  Zeta-Jones is just one of the big screen stars to make a successful cross-over to theatre.

  Scarlett Johansson's Broadway debut in A View From The Bridge earned her a Tony for best featured performance by an actress.

  The Lost In Translation star said working on stage was a dream come true.

  "Every since I was a little girl I wanted to be on Broadway and here I am."

  Two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington also picked up a Tony for his role in Fences, the revival of August Wilson's family drama.

  But it was a very good night for the Brits at the event in New York's Radio City Music Hall.

  Playwright Alan Ayckbourn received a lifetime achievement award and Douglas Hodge was named best lead actor for his role in La Cage Aux Folles.

  British production Red, about painter Mark Rothko, was the overall winner of the night.

  The play, which transferred from London's West End to Broadway, won six awards including best play and best actor for Briton Eddie Redmayne.

  He plays the young, increasingly disillusioned assistant to Rothko, played by Alfred Molina.

  "This is the stuff dreams are made of. Wow," Redmayne said, clutching his prize.

  Brit Michael Grandage got the best director prize with Red also receiving Tony Awards for best lighting design of a play, best sound design and best scenic design.
