Hollywood Heads to Dallas
Dallas got a taste of Hollywood as the inaugural AFI Dallas International Film Festival rolled into town March 22 - April 1st.
The festivities kicked off on Thursday with a screening of "Music Within" and a presentation of the Dallas Star Awards handed out by Sydney Pollack to Lauren Bacall, Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Veronique Peck on behalf of her late husband, Gregory Peck. Guests then headed over to a fashionable soiree at Neiman Marcus. On Saturday night, at the Landmark Magnolia Theater, David Lynch, was on hand for a screening of his latest pic, "Inland Empire," which was followed by a Q&A with AFI Dallas CEO Michael Caine.
Other guests at the fest included: Bill Paxton, Chris Klein, Ron Livingston and AFI's Jean Firstenberg.
Veronique Peck was Gregory Peck's wife; I understand his daughter Cecilia was also in town for a festival screening of the documentary she produced, "A Conversation with Gregory Peck."

Music Within really touched my heart. Ron Livingston and Michael Sheen were so good! I didn't even recognize Michael Sheen at first, he was so convincing. I hope this gets released soon, I want to see it again.
