George Clooney hosted Motion Picture & Television Fund’s (MPTF) “Hollywood’s Night Under The Stars,” an evening of musical performances and special presentations celebrating their 95th Anniversary on October 1 at the MPTF Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills, CA. Michael Douglas, Derek Hough, Loretta Devine, Hugh Jackman, Jane LynchChris Pine, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Kevin Spacey were amongst the celebs in attendance.
The show was filled with musical highlights including a medley of Les Miserables classics headlined by Hugh Jackman, Johnny Mathis singing his hit “Misty,” and a show stopping performance of “Listen” from Loretta Devine that brought the audience to its feet. Television and Broadway star Norm Lewis gave a powerful performance of “Music of the Night,” and Kevin Spacey delighted the crowd with performances of both “Can I Steal A Little Love?” and “Mr. Bojangles,” complete with a top hat and some smooth dance moves.
The event also marked the launch of MPTF’s “ALL IN” Program, which was introduced by long-time MPTF supporter and volunteer Yvette Nicole Brown. The ALL IN campaign will help to share MPTF’s message across all members of the film and television industry, and connect with the next generation who will carry on the organization’s mission.
