What a day yesterday - it all started Wednesday when we had a call
from Laura Dern, the lovely beautiful actress asking if she and
Cecilia Peck could borrow some jewellery for a special event
commemorating the life of Gregory Peck - because the postal service
had made a a special stamp with an image of Gregory Peck.
Cecilia Peck came in - a beautiful gentle lovely lady and we fussed
and tried different necklaces on her and found the perfect collection
of pieces for she and Laura to wear. Then Cecilia kindly invited
Marcia and I to the event!
I was so excited - I have loved Gregory Peck for a long lone time - he
seems to somehow embody the perfect man - the Atticus Finch of to Kill
a Mocking Bird - so honourable and righteous - so handsome and decent,
standing up for what is right - A wonderful father and husband - a
dignified, politically active, left leaning humanitarian - in watching
his films - the black and white movies of the 1940's and technicolour
of the 1950's it seems a time of quality - of proper manners and
sophistication.
Marcia and I were invited to the friends and family entrance at the
academy building and all the paparazzi went mad with Sharon Stone who
was introducing the event - and the Peck family.
Marcia and I sat through the films clips, the wonderful talks by
Morgan Freeman, laura Dern, his sons and daughter, we cried at the
scene in to kill a mockingbird when all the black people in the
courtroom balcony stand up as Atticus leaves the court room out of
respect for him..
Sydney Poitier was there, Tina Sinatra, David Niven's son, the actress
who played Scout in the film, there was messages from Harper Lee -
It was wonderful -
Later that day slightly recomposed - we had our Turquoise Mountain
Show for the Afghan collection - a lovely evening - the shop full of
exotic colourful birds of women - a great success ..
Later that evening as we went to dinner to celebrate who was at the
next table but the beautiful Sophia Loren!
Ah Hollywood ...xx
