Going to World Premiere of "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler"

I've been invited to go to LA to attend the world premiere of the next Hallmark Hall of Fame movie "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler"!!  Here's a link to the movie details on the Internet Movie Database.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1010278/

It stars: 
  • Anna Paquin - Best Supporting Actress Oscar Winner in 1993 (at age 11) for The Piano (Just as an aside - Holly Hunter won best actress that same year for the same movie)
  • Marcia Gay Harden - Best Supporting Actress Oscar Winner in 2001 for Pollock (She was also nominated for her role in Mystic River in 2004 but didn't win) 
  • Goran Visnjic - plays hottie Dr. Luka Kovac from "ER"
  • Paul Freeman
It's based on a true story of a Polish woman who saved 2500 Jewish children during World War II.  It looks like a great story.

I understand that this event is a bit more low key than what outsiders think of as a Hollywood movie premiere, but as my good friend Barb says "It's an excuse for new outfit, a manicure and a massage." 

It's all happening on April 13.   I'll write all about it when I get back.  I can't wait!
