The Beverly Hills Theatre Guild celebrated their 40th Anniversary at the Four Seasons Hotel. Honoree was actress/singer Constance Towers, star of Broadway, film and Television. Who can forget her appearing opposite Yul Brenner in The King & I, or her films including Karate Kid & A Perfect Murder. She recently lost her handsome husband, John Gavin, who went from being a matinee idol – to US Ambassador to Mexico. The attractive couple worked closely to provide care for hundreds of children gravely affected by the earthquake in 1985.
