Ellsberg Birthday & Anniversary Fundraiser
A great big thank you to everyone, for making the Daniel Ellsberg birthday party/film benefit a stunning success! We are especially grateful for the generosity of our hosts: Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum, Cindy Asner, Dianna Cohen, Jackson Browne, Jodie Evans, Max Palevsky, Sheri and Richard Foos, Claire Greensfelder, Lyn and Norman Lear, Jamie and Michael Lynton, Sara Nichols, Lynda and Stewart Resnick, Marge Tabankin and Earl Katz.
See a blurb about the event on Variety’s Wilshire and Washington blog.
The party was quite an event–terrific turnout, great enthusiasm for the film clip, and all-around good energy among the guests. Dan gave a very inspiring presentation, reminding us that if not for the efforts of Stanley Sheinbaum and others gathered in the room, he would be getting out of prison this year (with good behavior).
Oliver Stone and Judith Ehrlich
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of individual donors and the support from the Hollywood community.
We were encouraged to hear from many at the benefit that this was shaping up to be a compelling and important film that must be completed sooner rather than later, given the political situation in America. In fact, Representative Maxine Waters insisted on leaving with a copy of the DVD, promising she would show it immediately to the Out of Iraq Congressional Caucus in Congress and ask Dan to address them.
