Hasty Pudding celebrates Coolidge as its Woman of the Year

Dressed up as a dolphin and forced to give someone a lightning-fast makeover, “The White Lotus” actress Jennifer Coolidge was roasted Saturday before being honored as the 2023 Woman of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals. As the oldest theatrical organization in the nation and one of the oldest in the world, since 1951, Hasty Pudding Theatricals has bestowed this award annually on women “who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment.” Coolidge, who saw a career resurgence following her Emmy-winning turn as Tanya McQuoid-Hunt in the HBO series “The White Lotus,” headlined a parade through the streets of Cambridge Saturday afternoon.

The Temptations, the Isley Brothers and the Four Tops turned back time, singing and dancing as if in their prime at a reunion of Motown stars. The occasion was to honor Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson for their musical achievements and philanthropic efforts as MusiCares Persons of the Year. It's the first time the charitable organization honored two individuals in the same year. Gordy and Robinson's friendship dates back more than 65 years to when they first met in their native Detroit.
