NEW YORK (AP) — Abraham Lincoln is getting the star treatment.
Award-winning actors Jeremy Irons, Marian Seldes and Frances Sternhagen will be among those reciting Lincoln tributes next month from a new Library of America volume that features such writers and politicians as President Obama, Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg.
The free, midday reading, to be held May 1 at Saint Peter’s Church in midtown Manhattan, is sponsored by the nonprofit TIPA (Toward International Peace Through the Arts). The Library of America book “The Lincoln Anthology” was published recently in celebration of the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth.
[On The View’s official website, they put “Jeffery” instead of “Jeremy”, so I’ve made the corrections.]

Today, the ladies celebrated Sherri’s birthday! It all kicked off with a great giveaway of tickets to a screening of Earth. FYI: For every ticket purchased during opening week, Disneynature will plant a tree in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest — which is considered the most endangered rain forest in the world.
The first guest was Jeremy Irons, an actor who’s captivated audiences on the big screen — and now on stage in Impressionism. After Jeremy told audiences about what you can expect to see in the play, we watched a clip of The Lion King — for which both Jeremy and our Whoopi provided voices. Jeremy has won an Academy Award, a Tony award, a Screen Actors Guild award, two Emmy awards, and two Golden Globes for his work! You can see Jeremy in Impressionism at the Schoenfeld Theater in New York City. Everyone went home with a pair of tickets for the show …
Since it was Sherri’s birthday, The View challenged the award-winning cake artists from Food Challenge Network Challenge: Last Cake Standing to make their best creations in her honor! The host of Last Cake Standing, Keegan Gerhard, was here to introduce us to the contestants — and to help chose the winner. All three contestants did a wonderful job, and then Sherri chose her favorite. Be sure to watch Last Cake Standing this Sunday night to see the crowning of the winner!
Sherri’s birthday wish came true when the Clarke Sisters stopped by to perform “Higher Ground” from the new gospel all-star tribute Oh Happy Day — as well as their classic hit “You Brought The Sunshine.” Everyone in our audience took home a copy of Oh Happy Day and the group’s latest CD, The Clark Sisters Live&One Last Time!

Breaking news from Lifetime Original Movies:
Lifetime Television, the leading basic cable network for original movies among women, has assembled a diverse slate of contemporary films. The Network’s 2009-10 longform schedule remains top-notch.
Upcoming Lifetime Original Movies include September 19th’sGeorgia O’Keeffe, starring three-time Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-nominee Joan Allen (The Contender) and Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Jeremy Irons (Reversal of Fortune).
The Georgia O’Keeffe biopic starring Joan Allen in the title role with Jeremy Irons as O’Keefe’s long-time lover, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, premieres Sept. 19.
Allen and Irons were in attendance at the upfront. Allen is also the executive producer on the project, which was originally optioned by HBO. The pay cabler relinquished the rights and Allen brought the project to Lifetime. She said she was grateful to HBO for giving her the rights back and to Lifetime for a quick turn-around.
“It’s a tough market for making movies,” said Allen. “It’s a tough market for making movie about women of a certain stature.”
Georgia O’Keeffe gave the production permission to film at Ghost Ranch, her former home in New Mexico. O’Keeffe also “endorsed us as being historically accurate,” said Allen, “which means a great deal to all of us.”
Irons quipped: “Despite my disappointment at not being involved in Project Runway, I am very happy to be involved in this.”
These photos of the exterior of the theatre and the signage were taken on April 18th and 19th, 2009.
