Parties
Stamford, CT

Stunning Jewels! Champagne! Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth! Cole Porter music! All in one special evening at the Avon Theatre Film Center in Stamford, CT. The Avon Board of Directors hosted their annual Carte Blanche Donor Thank You Party for their patrons on 11.1.11 in collaboration with Betteridge Jewelers of Greenwich, Verdura Jewelers and U.S. Trust. In celebration of the Astaire film screened that night "You'll Never Get Rich," Terry Betteridge displayed stunning jewels fit for a movie star or mogul! He also brought the original rose gold cigarette case presented to composer Cole Porter on the night of the movie premiere in 1941. Jim Haag, Marketing Director of Verdura, presented their new "The Hollywoodland Collection: 1934 -1939" featuring gorgeous jewels designed for some of Hollywood's most famous stars: Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Tyrone Power, Greta Garbo, Slim Keith and Tallulah Bankhead. Avon patrons had great fun trying on the baubles! Deborah Royce, Avon co-founder, introduced Marion Schmeelk, Managing Director, U.S. Trust, and thanked the bank for their generous support of the non-profit independent cinema. www.avontheatre.org
