Patti LuPone has won two Tony Awards and received many other acting honors, but this week she achieved a different kind of recognition, one that unfortunately doesn't come with a statuette or shiny medallion.
The renowned theater actress hit the No. 1 trending spot on Twitter on Thursday following an act of cellphone vigilantism the night before during a performance of Douglas Carter Beane's "Shows of Days" at Lincoln Center in New York.
During the performance at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, LuPone broke the fourth wall of acting to snatch a cellphone out the hands of a texting audience member during the play's second act.
