John Lithgow Just Made Tony History. At 80, He's Only Getting Started.

The veteran actor took home the prize for best actor in a play for "Giant," becoming the oldest man ever to win a competitive acting Tony. He shattered a 53-year-old record and proved that Broadway's best performances have nothing to do with age. The moment signals something the industry has been quietly realizing: the stage belongs to the people who've earned it, regardless of how many decades they've lived.
