Nicholson, Douglas, Andrews, Eastwood, Beatty, and Lucas Celebrate AFI's 40th Anni
"I didn't think she could pull it off," said Kirk Douglas of outgoing American Film Institute chief Jean Firstenberg's feat of screening ten movies at the Arclight on one night, all presented by a star or filmmaker. George Lucas brought Star Wars, Tippi Hedron introed The Birds, Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner discussed When Harry Met Sally, Warren Beatty attended Bonnie and Clyde, Julie Andrews accompanied The Sound of Music, Jack Nicholson hosted One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Angela Lansbury talked Beauty and the Beast, Clint Eastwood spoke about Unforgiven, Sly Stallone came with Rocky, and Douglas introduced Spartacus.
The whole gang posed for one picture together, and at the AFI 40th anniversary lunch the following day, Douglas said, "I felt like a bobby soxer. Then when I introduced the movie, I felt like a movie star."
