I watched the TSUNAMI AID CONCERT FOR HOPE. It was a very low-keyed production starring the greats, singing and speaking. Along with the video footage of the wave, the actors present, hosted by JAY LENO, evoked the sadness and the sympathy we all feel. MADONNA, started the program singing JOHN LENNON'S "IMAGINE"She was wearing a simple dark blue dress and sang quietly as did DIANA ROSS who ended the show with "Reach Out and Touch Someone's Hand".
In between those two of the greatest, were ELTON JOHN playing from London, MICHAEL DOUGLAS and his wife KATHERINE ZETA JONES from New York and a host of celebrities manning and womanning the phones in Los Angeles that included GOLDIE HAWN, RENE ZWELLINGER, LEONARDO DI CAPRIO, TIM ROBBINS, ANETTE BENNING. GLORIA ESTEFAN sang while CINDY CRAWFORD TOM SELLECK, BRUCE WILLIS, HUGH GRANT,
did their part. STEVIE WONDER was brilliant- UMA THURMAN spoke and SHERYL CROW sang. JOHNNY DEPP, MAT DAMON, DREW BARRYMORE attended the phones.
