Gaiety hands Anna top acting honour

ANNA MANAHAN was delighted yesterday to receive recognition for her acting talents. Her handprints are immortalised on the forecourt of Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, a distinction she shares with two other legends.

Anna said: “To be part of the Gaiety Theatre, to have the imprint of my hands on the forecourt of the theatre beside Maureen Potter and John B Keane, is indeed a very special honour. The Gaiety is the queen of theatres in Ireland. It is the highlight of an actor’s career to play the Gaiety,” she said.

Gaiety executive director John Costigan said: “We are delighted Anna agreed to have her handprints taken for the Gaiety Theatre Plaza.”
