Spring Cleaning
Posted by Joan Hyler
Pesach is near. Spring cleaning is at hand, physically and spiritually. In Hollywood, the Award season is over and Spring movies abound (the spectacular “Alice in Wonderland”) and pilots are now being shot for the Fall TV season and Fall movie releases prepared (including my client Diane Lane’s Disney feature “Secretariat” about a woman who trains herself to learn how to train the Triple Crown winner of the 70’s, an unlikely horse with an oversize heart, Secretariat).
May we all train our hearts and purify ourselves this season so in October for the next New Year we will be ready for our own Triple Crown: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succos with our own oversized hearts.

MAZELTOV to Oscar Nominees and the Chai Center
Posted by Joan Hyler
Oscar weekend - parties swirling and my own client BRUCE VILANCH writing the Oscar telecast. A good year for Hollywood women - especially over 40 women: Mirren, Streep, Bigelow, Bullock. My friends at the Chai Center are celebrating Sunday as well - with Media star, Michael Medved doing the keynote. Go to the Chai Center event at the Olympic Collection before you go to the Vanity Fair after party.
And if you run into Lisa Kudrow at either place, give her a thank you as well and support her courage for her march back to Poland, on full view at NBC, to talk about her family’s history and the Holocaust.
