The Hasty Pudding Theatricals has selected Charlie's Angel's star Drew Barrymore and Hannibal's Anthony Hopkins as its man and woman of the year, the group announced earlier this week.
The actors will travel to Cambridge in February to receive the traditional "pudding pot" given to award recipients.
The Pudding honors two performers a year for their "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment" with a good-natured "roast," the pudding pot, and a special performance of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals' show.
Barrymore is the 50th recipient of the Woman of the Year award, first given to Gertrude Lawrence in 1951.
Barrymore will lead a parade through the Square on Feb. 8, escorted by a dozen Pudding men in drag.
The 40-minute procession ends at the Hasty Pudding Theatre, where the cast will preview three numbers from its 153rd production, Fangs for the Memories.
Barrymore will also lead a seminar for the Pudding's cast and staff.
"This will give everyone a great opportunity to talk to her and ask questions," said Pudding Press Manager Joanna S.B. O'Leary '03.
