TVC 627.4: Ed welcomes back legendary singer, actress, and philanthropist Ruta Lee (High Rollers, Witness for the Prosecution, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Consider Your Ass Kissed). Earlier this year, the former president of Lithuania, Valdas Adamkus, presented Ruta with Lithuania's highest honor at a magnificent ceremony in the Vilnius Presidential Palace in Lithuania, while the current president of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, presented Ruta with another high honor during a visit to Ruta's home in Hollywood—a legendary estate that was previously owned by Rita Hayworth and, later, Orson Welles. Both honors were bestowed upon Ruta in recognition for her lifelong advocacy for the advancement of Lithuania and its people.

The Thalians, the charitable organization to which Ruta Lee has dedicated much of her life over the past sixty years, will honor actor Gary Sinise with its highest honor, the "Mr. Wonderful" Award (originally designed by Walt Disney) at its annual Winter Gala, which will take place Saturday, Dec. 2 at the Brentwood Country Club in Los Angeles, California. See TheThalians.org here for tickets and more information.
