Cruise gets icon award
NEW YORK, USA (AP) — Tom Cruise was in Manhattan to collect an award and, yes, promote a movie.
On Tuesday night, the actor received the fourth-ever Friars Club Entertainment Icon Award, placing him in the same company as Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra. The evening was a toast, not a roast. Alec Baldwin presided at the Waldorf-Astoria, where speakers included such former co-stars as Cuba Gooding Jr and Kevin Pollak.
