Show Me the Portrait! Sardi’s Unveils a Tribute to The Trip to Bountiful Star Cuba Gooding Jr.

The Trip to Bountiful headliner Cuba Gooding Jr. was the guest of honor at Sardi’s on August 22, when the legendary New York restaurant unveiled a portrait of the Oscar winner and newly minted Broadway star. Gooding was joined by his co-stars Vanessa Williams, Adepero Oduye and Tom Wopat, who were on hand to cheer him on and toast his success. The Jerry Maguire favorite is making his Broadway debut in the revival of Horton Foote’s 1953 drama, playing Ludie Watts, the overprotective son of Carrie Watts (Tony winner Cicely Tyson).
