– Ian McKellen and Sharon D. Clarke were among the big winners at last night’s Olivier Awards in London, but it was the Duchess of Cornwall who stole the show. Camilla, the wife of Britain’s Prince Charles, presented lyricist Don Black with the Special Olivier Award, Reuters reports. “I should like to thank those of you whose profession is in the theater for your determination and your flexibility,” she said. “Please remain resilient—we need you and we have missed you.”
