An Ordinary Couple & A Royal Success
An Ordinary Couple & A Royal Success
Over 500 guests attended the premiere of An Ordinary Couple at the Outfest Film Festival. This documentary is based on the 30-year relationship of Orin Kennedy and Bernardo Puccio, a charismatic couple who live life to the fullest, and do it with great flair.
The film documents their long-time relationship that has weathered discrimination, the AIDS crisis, as well as intense personal drama. Who else do you know who erected a monument at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (where they will spend eternity together) and later got married at a lavish ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel?
High Profile Attorney, Gloria Allred, and Councilmember Bill Rosendahl presented a proclamation from the City of Los Angeles that states, “The movie is wonderful reminder that love conquers all”. Some of the other friends who later attended the soiree at the couples Westside condo included co-directors of the film Jay Gianukos and Susan Barnes, Barbara Lazaroff, Art Connoisseur David Streets, Grace Robbins, and Dr. Danne King, who is being honored this week at the Cznarina’s Ball in Palm Springs.
And speaking of Royalty, The Academy of Couture Art’s presented a Gala Fashion Extravaganza at the prestigious Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood. Her Royal Highness Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark was honored as being a role model to the world youth, by Founders Sonia and Thierry Ete. Among the distinguished guests were Princess Dalai Al-Saud, Baronesse Bettina Von Schimmelmann, and the Consul Generals of Peru, France and the Czech Republic.
A Princess of another sort, Ali Fedotowsky, who will be renouncing her title of Bachelorette when she marries her Prince Roberto Martinez ,was in attendance, along with designer Julia Clancy, and NYPD Blue’s star, Charlotte Ross.
And last, but not least, CAA Agent Fred Specktor and Emmy-nominated actor Jason Alexander appeared as guest speakers at Women in Film’s Speaker series in B.H., giving industry advice to WIF members & their guests.
