Retired talk-meister Phil Donahue, white-maned as ever, struck a high profile in Washington this weekend at the American Task Force for Lebanon Gala, where he accepted an award on behalf of his actress-wife, Marlo Thomas, reports PEOPLE. Thomas, 58, is the daughter of the late beloved entertainer Danny Thomas (1914-1991), who often proudly spoke of being a Lebanese American. (Fans of his "Make Room for Daddy" '50s sitcom fondly recall his Lebanese Uncle Tonoose on the show, played with aplomb by Hans Conreid.) Thomas was in L.A. to shoot an episode of "Friends," leaving hubby Donahue to pick up her trophy as well as introduce public-interest advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Jordan's Queen Noor-Al-Hussein ... took to the stage to introduce Selwa Roosevelt, the former U.S. chief of protocol. "My father in-law was knighted by two Popes, and I was just recently named Man of the Year by Transvestites," joked Donahue, 66.
