Saturday night Charles Finch had very chic dinner....with Ralph Ficnncs, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky, Elizabeth Banks, Jacob Rothchild's daughter, Jagger, Scorsese...and 100 English/American/French filmmakers at the Eden Rock overlooking the sea. Was the most interesting dinner with great people. Sunday, saw morning screening of "Agora" with Rachel Weisz (Egypt in 349 AD) and Johnny Pigozzi had his annual lunch at his seaside villa next to DuCap. Chased Mick Jagger around the pool all afternoon and he would not let me take his photo...Sunday night went to a party for Weinstein's unfinished film, "Nowhere Boy" about John Lennon as a boy/young man and hung with Julian Lennon...then "Agora" party to see Rachel and Max Minghella... Monday- Disney made it snow in front of The Carlton as Jim Caney arrived in a horse drawn carriage with 4 black horses in a blizzard with Christmas carols blasting over loud speakers...then they showed 10 mins of 3-D footage in a hugh theater Disney built inside the hotel...footage will terrify any small kid. ....That night- Harvey Weinstein showed 10 minutes of footage from "Nine" that is so spectacular that he already won the Oscar...then onto the Palais for red carpet premiere of "Looking for Eric"...(English...not as many American films this year)-saw Hillary Swank- then onto Paul Allen's 414 foot boat, Octopus. that was built in Germany 6 years ago and is beyond anything I have ever been on...complete with a yellow submarine...Jagger there again, Colin Firth.

Back to Ilotel DuCap for lunch...sightings- only Ron Meyer. Harvey Weinstein, Hugh (Chariots of Fire) Hudson...slow day. Went to Bridgette Lacombe's book party on the beach... her latest book has sensational photos of the fabulous and famous- too heavy to pack..then to Palais for red carpet premiere of "Broken Embraces"...Penelope is devine in it...then to after party on the beach to see Flaminco singers and watch Korean Ang Lee clap to Spainish music.

Thursday is AmFar with Sharon Stone and Bill Clinton together again...at DuCap. Friday night Paul Allen is having a dinner for Dr. Watson on his boat. Do you know him? Paul Allen or Dr. Watson? I really want to go and write about it (and not tell Paul-it would be smart, complimentary and short) Can you help me get invited...it's not small at all on a 414 ft boat. Piggorti knows him too. I am writing my diary- a big challange...there are very few American movie stars this year. Glorious weather. OK films...and I am managing to have a ball...so I will spin some tall tale and hopefully amuse. More to come. Here till Monday...then to "Ghent Again: the Second Flip". xoxo Peggy I can never every thank you enough for giving me these fabulous, fun, smart and sunny days in Europe. I see everyone in the industry...wear my chicest clothes and always have a funny story....and seem to get great feedback on my antics. My presence translates into jobs... I am beginning to work on my "diary"....bit of a challenge—so few big stars this year...but I will figure it out. Will try to finish before my operation next Tuesday...writing a good story, is not a problem...may not have 10 pages of photos of big celebs to amuse editors at "Hamptons"....but have insight into this years new films...will figure it out. xoxo Peggy Counting the days to your freedom...miss you.... Will come see you.... Brought my old crutches with me so don't have to buy another pair! EFTA_R1_00204155 EFTA01828643
