literacy
Programs
Two
days before the Academy Awards, Montblanc will host a high profile
charity gala at Paramount Studios in Hollywood with the cooperation of
Signature International to present the cultural and charitable
initiative ‘Montblanc Signature for Good’, in support of UNICEF.
The ‘Montblanc Signature for Good’ initiative features the portraiture
photography of American photographer Roger Moenks to benefit UNICEF’s
education and literacy programs, including internationally known actors
Emily Blunt, Marcia Cross, Andie MacDowell, Helen Hunt, Lauren Hutton,
Milla Jovovich, Jessica Lange, Eva Longoria, Sienna Miller, Christina
Ricci, Susan Sarandon and Mira Sorvino who support this initiative.
The event, taking place at Hollywood’s legendary Paramount Studios,
honors the involvement of the 12 great actors who feature in the
initiative and their willingness to support UNICEF in its work to give
proper access to education. During the champagne reception, the 12
portraits signed by the muses will be unveiled to the public in a
spectacular way – each actor being reunited with her own portrait. The
portraits will then go on an international tour in cooperation with
Sotheby’s before being auctioned during 2009 in support of UNICEF.
Special guests taking to the stage to show their support for the
charity initiative include Slumdog Millionaire star Anil Kapoor and
guest of honor Reese Witherspoon who will be presenting an initial
check to UNICEF in support of this initiative. Other VIP guests
attending the charity gala include Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas,
Faye Dunaway, Joan Collins, Nastassja Kinski, Cat Deeley, Bar Rafaeli,
Rosanna Arquette, Dita von Teese, Rosario Dawson, Michael Sheen,
Michael York, Ashley Jensen, Kimberly Stewart, Nicky Hilton, Oliver
Stone, Danny Houston, Elsa Zylberstein and Lily Collins.
Guests will enjoy a unique menu designed by Wolfgang Puck and following
dinner will enjoy entertainment by a swing band.
