VIDEO: Bassett and Jackson Receive Caricatures at Sardi's

Angela Bassett and Samuel L. Jackson, stars of the current Broadway show "The Mountaintop," received caricatures of themselves in a ceremony at Sardi's restaurant on Thursday. Also in attendance was Jackson's wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson, who recently appeared Off-Broadway in "Love, Loss, and What I Wore" and was on Broadway in the 2009 revival of "Joe Turner's Come and Gone." "The Mountaintop," by Katori Hall, won the 2010 Olivier Award for best new play during its London run. The show deals with an imagined encounter between civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and a hotel maid, who is not what she appears to be.

"The Mountaintop" is playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, 242 W. 45th St., NYC through Jan. 22.
