Veteran actor TONY ROBERTS is "doing well" in hospital after suddenly collapsing in the middle of a performance on Broadway on Sunday (04Sun09).
The Annie Hall star was onstage for the matinee showing of The Royal Family when he began speaking

incoherently, sparking fears he had suffered a stroke.
Audience members only realised something was wrong when co-star John Glover walked offstage and asked for the curtain to be brought down, according to a report in the New York Post.
Theatregoer Roger Lorente tells the publication, "He looked fine and moved around fine, but he was speaking nothing but gibberish for about a minute. It was very strange. The curtain came down and the lights went up, and the usher asked if there were any doctors in the house." Roberts was taken to New York's St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where he is currently recovering in a stable condition.
And the star's cousin insists he has regained control of his speech, confirming: "He's doing well. He's talking. I think he's going to be fine."
