The TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL is off to a great start. It is being sponsored by AMERICAN EXPRESS and several other companies. DESMOND TUTU joined ROBERT DE NIRO and JANE ROSENTHAL for the starting festivities. That evening, AMERICAN EXPRESS hosted a magnificent affair at the Winter Garden with dancers from South Africa and a wonderful view of the Hudson River by sunset. One of the films I've seen is TONY N TINA'S WEDDING, which is a takeoff of the off-Broadway production. It is a combination of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING with THE SOPRANOS - the music by Tony Travis, is outstanding as is the graphic design of the wedding cake by Jane Gussein (it is so great they should make it into the poster for the show)..

GOLDIE HAWN appeared with her daughter KATE HUDSON at RAISING HELEN....like Mother like daughter.

COMMERCE BANK at 25 Hudson Street hosted a reception with magnificent hor's d'oeuvres- I even won the door prize - a magnificent digital camera.
