MALIBU
FILM FESTIVAL
Indies Film Fest
Fit for a Princess
By
Polly Van Raalte
ALIBU'S
Castle Kashan, owned by Princess Lilly Lawrence, was the glorious
setting for the third annual Malibu Film Festival. The princess
welcomed her guests in a glamorous lavender silk embroidered
creation.
Many
of the rooms in the castle were adorned with pink and red rose
petals. (I felt like I was on the set of American Beauty.)
The
festival this year honored independent filmmakers. Festival producer
David Katz said, “We have an opportunity to showcase new
film and talent to the film industry.” He presented Lilly with the
Patron of Independent Filmmakers Award.
While
tasting the delicious fish prepared by world famous author/chef
Wolfgang Puck, I met up-and-coming star Edward Spivak. He
recently shot a film in San Francisco.
Actress/exercise
guru Suzanne Somers made a grand entrance in a fantastic
white pantsuit. I believe she was carrying a Judith Lieber bag. In
fact, Princess Lilly showcased her Judith Leiber bags in her
bedroom.
Sally
Kirkland,
in a fabulous leopard coat, was chatting with Woody Allen’s
favorite actor, Martin Landau.
I
couldn’t believe I met Ed O’Ross of HBO’s Six Feet
Under. He had Lorna Luft on his arm.
At
the end guests gathered in the kitchen to taste the incredible
desserts. How fun was the evening? Fit for a princess.
