| The
Bay Street Theater's summer benefit burst with famous
faces. "Alec, you
look just like a movie star," I quipped to the dark
shaded
Baldwin, among
the earliest dinner dance arrivals. Chevy Chase shunned
the
press on his way into the tent. Earth to Chevy: No one
cared. In contrast, press-pal Julie Andrews proved what
a pro she is, as did supermodel Christie Brinkley, perpetually
ready for her close-up. Brinkley's equally photogenic
architect hubby Peter Cooke was by her side, A-mixing
with Alan Alda, Edward Albee, Roy and Brenda Scheider,
Jon Robin Baitz, Sybil Christopher, Betty Comden and
Adolph Green, Terrence McNally, Phyllis Newman, Joe
Pintauro, and Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith. One of
the night's auction items was a flight for eight on
Sikorsky Shares luxury helicopter–it went for $8,000
and was only worth five grand. Good thing for Hamptons'
deep pockets, especially after a couple of cocktails. |
