Poll: Behind-the-Scenes Kennedy Center Honorees
The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture (although recipients do not need to be U.S. citizens). Each year five new artists are honored. While most inductees are musicians, dancers or actors, directors, writers, choreographers and other "behind-the-scenes" artists are also honored.
The ceremony is televised, with the show this year airing on December 26, and the honorees are dancer Carmen de Lavallade, musicians Gloria Estefan, LL Cool J and Lionel Richie and TV producer/writer Norman Lear.
Which of these past honorees from behind the scenes do you think was most deserving?
