I am going to carve pumpkins soon, before Halloween with a friend, then I am going to scoop out the contents and make pumpkin pies - should be fun.

I went to a preview party for STELLA BY STARLIGHT - an event to celebrate the legacy of Stella Adler. It was held at the National Arts Club and sponsored by Club President Aldon James, Sidney Lumet, Eli Wallach & Anne Jackson. It seems every major actor has studied at her studio, including WARREN BEATTY, CANDICE BERGEN, KEVIN COSTNER ROBERT DENIRO, RHONDA FLEMING, MELANIE GRIFFITH, HARVEY KEITEL, ANTHONTY QUINN, to name a few.



The gala event will be on November 17 at the Rainbow room. The honorees for the evening are STEVEN SPIELBERG, JOHN TRAVOLTA, OSSIE DAVIS & RUBY DEE.

The chairmen are MARLON BRANDO, ROY SCHEIDER & MIKE MEDAVOY. Other names attached to the evening are the very gracious couple DAVID BROWN & HELEN GURLEY BROWN, TAMMY GRIMES, DINA MERRILL, SUSAN SARANDON, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, RICHARD DREYFUSS, TONY LO BIANCO, FRANK LANGELLA, SIDNEY LUMET. I can't wait. Ms. Adler's studio opened in 1949. It was endowed by social, intellectural cultural and political awareness of the world beyond theatre. The funds from the evening will help increase student scholarships, expand community outreach programs and support expansion of its million-dollar facility at 31 West 27 Street.
