Clare Boothe Luce Award
The Clare Boothe Luce Award was established in 1991 by the Heritage Foundation in memory of Clare Boothe Luce, an American playwright, journalist, ambassador, and U.S. congresswoman. The award is the foundation’s highest public honor for distinguished contributions to the conservative movement. The first Clare Boothe Luce Award was given jointly in September 1991 to Shelby Cullom Davis, a former U.S. ambassador, and his wife, Kathryn Wasserman Davis. A lecture was delivered on that occasion by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.[1]
Heritage has presented the award to many notable members of the conservative movement, including former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who received the award in 1997;[2] Nobel economist Milton Friedman and his wife Rose Friedman in 1998;[3] conservative author and commentator William F. Buckley Jr. in 1999;[4] Thatcher in 2002[5] and former U.S. senator and judge James L. Buckley in 2010.[6]
