HOLLYWOOD FILM
AWARDS
Stars
Shine at Beverly Hilton
At Talent Recognition Fete
By Polly Van Raalte
 HERE’S
no business like show business and there’s no place like Hollywood
to showcase talent. The third annual Hollywood Film Awards presented
by Hollywood Video at the Beverly Hilton did not disappoint. Carlos
de Abreu and his gorgeous wife Janice Pennington are the
founders of the event.
Legendary writer Neil
Simon presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to the great Jack
Lemmon. Loved that purple tie, Neil. Jack couldn’t stop
thanking everyone for his award.
Martin Landau,
sporting a “Millionaire Tie, told me Regis Philbin didn’t
send it.
I told Patrick Swayze
how much I missed his Gotham restaurant, Mulholland Drive. He said
many have told him that. He’s still trying to produce a movie with
wife Lisa. The theme? Dance, of course.
The fashionistas were out
– Maria Conchita-Alonso sported two shades of green, one on
her silk dress and the other on her boa. Wow!
Who can forget The
Rifleman? A very grown-up Johnny Crawford was there
leading the band.
James Caan
copped an award for Outstanding Achievement in Acting. He worried he
was getting old. Is that why people had to give him this award? Lynn
Redgrave, lovely in a shade of gray (or was it silver?) came to
support Jimmy.
Jon Voight
presented an award for directing to John Schlesinger.
Producer Irwin Winkler also got an award. Johnny Grant,
honorary mayor of Hollywood, got an award for community service.
Olympic gold medallist
diver Greg Louganis wore an incredibly colorful tie that
could end up at the Museum of Modern Art.
Congratulations
to Jerry Goldsmith for getting an award for outstanding
achievement in music, and Jane Jenkins and Janet
Hirshenson for casting awards.
