ADVENTURES OF A BUXOM BLONDE (how I met celebrities in New York)

 

This is both stories and color of photography of the major stars of Hollywood .Some I  met for the

 first time, and others I kept meeting throughout the years.   It is a journey of  coming face -

to- face with fame...when Jane Fonda told me to hold the camera higher to get a better shot of us,

when I met Elizabeth Taylor on  three  different occasions, when John F. Kennedy asked said he

was running for the Presidency of the United States, and when Princess Grace Kelly came to

hear a concert  on board ship in Cannes. The photos are all shot by me.  Come on the journey!

A journey through history and time.  demetriadaniels@gmail.com

At the famous Rockefeller Center in NY, Ellen DeGeneres taped two shows, outdoors above the ice skating rink.  Her first guest was PINK who sang three songs.  JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE was also interviewed then came JIMMY FALLON , and the hit of the evening was the interview with
HILLARY CLINTON, interviewed by a 10-year old child named MACY. 

                                                                              PINK
The evening was lush with warm air and the center provided water bottles for everyone!
They did give us pink wristbands to watch the show.

                                               HILLARY CLINTON with MACY
MACY, is the 10-year old expert on the American Presidency.  She gracefully interviewed
Mrs. Clinton, and in the end, they presented her with a junior sized blue pant suit, just like
the one Mrs. Clinton was wearing.  Does she want to become the President of the United
States?  Yes is the answer. 

                                                              JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

                                                                     JIMMY FALLON

ELLEN  asks all the right questions and she is a joy to watch her interview.  She also
did some dancing along the way !

 MELISSA RIVERS has written a charming, funny and intimate  book called  "The Book of  Joan" about her late Mother, Joan Rivers. 
"Comedy was her calling", Melissa says. At the age of 8 she collected all the photos of her on the piano in the living room  and shipped them all to MGM, frame and all..    Joan spent 50 years in show biz, and 30 of those years was travelling, after getting a degree in literature from Barnard College.  When she first appeared on the Johnny Carson show, he told her "you are going to be
a star", and five days later she met and married  her husband, Edgar Alfred Rosenberg . To
thank Johnny, on his Birthday, they had the nanny bring 9 - month old Melissa
to Johnny with a note - We want to thank you for everything you have done for us
so we sent you our most prized possession, our daughter, Melissa.

The book reveals charming episodes like this one. A delightful rememberance
was when Joan who liked to eat late told Mellissa "you know who eats dinner early - children, old people, farmhands and prisoners"  Joan believed in manners and collected old
Emily Post books. And what about chivalry - " it isn't dead, it's in Argentina.. Joan didn't cook, her signature dish was "takeout", and defrosting was a challenge.   She carried almost
20 pounds of stuff in her handbag, and once gave out Joan Rivers bee pins to little girls
 in Africa.. .  She carried Lysol in her purse and cleaned her hotel room so well, the maids left her tips.
 She made fun of Elizabeth Taylor when she was fat and said" her next film will be "Who's Afraid of Virginia Ham"  And for up-to date humor she said " about Kris Kardashian - no, Kris, now is not the time to leave Bruce Jenner,  just as he's transitioning, you can double your wardrobe"
 She wrote a book "I, Hate Everyone...Starting With Me".In her book she said "when I die,
I want paparazzi, I want Meryl Streep sobbing in five different accents, I want
to be buried in a Valentino gown" and when she did die, she had all that and musical interlude with Hugh Jackman,  Melissa's son Cooper was the love of her life. We will miss her humor.

JOE   FRANKLIN  died this January.  He had been ill.  JOE had originated
the late night TV talk show since the 50's  ( January 8, 1951).  He had
interviewed every major celebrity at least three times each.  He gave
BARBRA STREISAND an interview when she was an "unknown".  His favorite
interview was with MARILYN MONROE.  He also found time to write books
'Up Late With Joe Franklin" At the opening of  his restaurant, TONY CURTIS
came to wish him well.  Going to his office was like visiting a museum called
"Memory Lane", hundreds of records, photos, books.  Many years ago, he
got me on TV to read my poetry, and we always read the newspapers together
He is survived by his son, Bradley, a sister Margaret Kestenbaum
two grandchildren, and a long time companion  Jodi Fritz. 
I will miss him.

The 17th annual Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation - "Collaborating for a Cause"
was held at Cipriani - Wall Street and was a huge success.  There was
both a live and silent auction and entertainment by Ziggy Marley.
Ellen and Michael Nierenberg were hosts and the honorees were the
designers Carley Cushnie and Michelle Ochs.

Reggae was the vibration of the evening  while Ziggy sang, and danced
and played the guitar to the rhythms of the night.

Whatever Ziggy was singing, the crowd joined in .

Love songs were everywhere.

Emcee for the evening was Chris Wragge, CBS

 

The night went on and the band played on.

The mission of the foundation is to eradicate cancer by bridging the gap
between lab science and the patient. More than $85 million has been raised to support the work of researchers across the globe.

  Hugh Hildesley of Sothebys did a great job at the live auction which included two black puppy labs.
Ziggy grabbed a hand out of the audience to dance with him.!!!!! It was a great party and a magnificent cause.
