Elaine Stritch at Liberty won the Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event (awarded to its producers, of which Stritch was not one). The stage performance of observations and songs from her life in theatre would later be the focus of D. A. Pennebaker's 2004 documentary Elaine Stritch at Liberty, which as well as the Emmy for Stritch, also won its producers the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special. Stritch was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1995.
