Based on the humorous adventures of an English housekeeper working for an American family, “Mr. Belvedere” began in March 1985 on ABC where it enjoyed a five-year run. The series starred Christopher Hewett as Mr. Lynn Aloysius Belevedere, a character originally created by Gwen Leys Davenport in her 1947 novel, Belvedere.
The special one-night-only event will benefit The Actors Fund, the national human services organization that fosters stability and resiliency and serves as a safety net to everyone in the performing arts and entertainment industry. Since March 18, The Fund has distributed $11.7 million in emergency financial assistance to 9,975 people in need due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, or more than five times the funds normally provided in a year.
As the emergency with Coronavirus continues to evolve, The Actors Fund has temporarily transitioned to online and phone-based services, which remain available for everyone in the performing arts and entertainment community. These services include: Artists Health Insurance Resource Center, The Career Center, Housing Resources, Addiction & Recovery, HIV/AIDS and Senior Services, Counseling and Emergency Financial Assistance, as well as The Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
