      Thanks for posting! My parents were there.

      They left my sister in a crib in their hotel room and asked the floor maid to look in on her.

      My grandmother took my mother downtown to ‘watch the stars come out’ for the premiere. It was her 7th birthday! It’s still her favorite movie…except for Dr. Zhivago.

      My grandmother (Nanny) also took my Mom (also age 7) and my aunt for the premiere. What fun!
