It was Michigan's answer to a
Hollywood premiere. About 300
people packed the Uptown Palladium
12 in Birmingham June 27 for an
advance private screening of The Kids
Are All Right, a romantic comedy
starring Julianne Moore, Annette
Bening and Mark Ruffalo. The film's
producer, Southfield native and
University of Michigan grad Gary
Gilbert, also was in the crowd, along
with two of the film's actors, Mia
Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson.
The event raised more than $30,000

for the Farmington Hills-based
agency JARC, which enables people
with developmental disabilities to live
full, dignified lives. "Gary and his
entire family have been involved with
JARC since its inception," said Rena
Friedberg of Huntington Woods,
JARC's chief development officer.
"His grandparents, Manny and Ruth
Feldstein, were founders. His brother,
Dan, was board president from 2003-
2006." The movie, which opened
in July, is already generating Oscar
buzz.
