Susan Boone Durkee: A Special Event at The Players Club, New York

Here I am visiting with my dear friend, Everett Raymond Kinstler
at The Players Club reception for the Hall of Fame Inductee Dinner

I was just sent these photos from a friend showing the Players Club, Hall of Fame Inductee Dinner, a very special event in New York. It was just amazing and I have to thank my dear friend Everett Raymond Kinstler for asking be to be a part of this historic and exciting event. To name a few of the other famous honorees: Lauren Bacall, Jimmy Fallon, Gregory Peck, Everett Raymond Kinstler, Morgan Freeman, Eli Wallace, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mary Tyler Moore, John Carradine, Sir John Gielgud, Arthur Miller and Katharine Hepburn. I was asked to paint a portrait of the famous actress, playwright and Theatre Producer Lucille Lortel. It is the tradition at The Players Club that every year a series of portraits each new Inductee to the Players Club Hall of Fame.
