# Lynn Fontanne Tribute Page This page celebrates actress **Lynn Fontanne** with a portrait sketch and a tribute poem by **Dorothy Parker**, a prominent satirist and critic of the era. The poem, addressed to "Dulcy," references Fontanne's theatrical role in a play called *Dulcy* (likely a comedy). Parker praises Fontanne as a "Queen of all the old ones"—suggesting she's a leading actress—and commends her wit and stage presence ("sparkling jest"). The reference to "Dulcy's bromides" and her ability to entertain indicates the character was comedic, possibly known for witty one-liners. This appears to be a **Life magazine feature celebrating a successful theatrical performer**, typical of how the publication promoted Broadway talent to its readers.
