| LOS ANGELES - People will be able to bid on a visit with Tom Cruise, the Mini Cooper that Charlize Theron drove in "The Italian Job," and a kiss from Sharon Stone as part of a benefit auction for a program that delivers food to people with AIDS and other serious illnesses.
"NYPD Blue" actor Bill Brochtrup hosted a news media preview Thursday of the items that will be up for bid Sunday at the "Hollywood 100" auction. The proceeds will benefit Project Angel Food, which delivers free meals to people in Los Angeles County disabled by illnesses.
"Project Angel Food is the kind of charity that's doing something for those in need every day — providing food, support and love," Brochtrup said in a statement. "I'm so happy to support this event because all of the proceeds are going to the expansion of the Project Angel Food facilities in order to serve people with any kind of life-threatening illnesses."
The items include a visit with Tom Cruise on the set of "Mission Impossible 3," in Berlin, as well as lunch with the actor; one of Sharon Stone's dresses from "Diabolique," and lunch and a kiss with Stone; a dress made for Elizabeth Taylor, a Bob Mackey costume worn by Barbra Streisand in "Funny Lady," and Jennifer Garner's ensemble for "13 Going on 30."
Also included are a piano bench signed by Elton John, an autographed guitar from Tom Hanks, a dress from Sarah Jessica Parker, a designer jacket from Cher, George Burns' glasses and cigar, and personal effects from Benji the dog. | |
