If I want to see a celebrity at a TIFF movie gala, will they be there?

Q. does a gala at the toronto intl film fest mean the celebs will be there from the movie, or is it just the 1st showing?

also when they do the whole red carpet walk thing, at roy thompson...can the crowd see? them

thx!

A. Since all films on the TIFF schedule are open to the general public, it is easy for fans to line the theatre entrances. The theatres with major gala presentations like Roy Thompson Hall, the Elgin Theatre, and the Ryerson Theatre have crowd barriers which line the carpet. Spectators are allowed to gather behind the crowd barriers and take pictures of the stars as they speak to reporters and pose for pictures for the media. They usually come over and sign autographs, shake hand with fans, and pose for pictures if time permits.

I've seen fans staking out celebrity hotspots in Torontoâs Yorkville neighbourhood, like upscale hotels and pricey restaurants. I live right here in Yorkville so I get to see them everyday.

What was the significance of wheel of fortune and AIDS in 1960.?
Q. Does anybody know the significance of wheel of fortune and AIDS in 1960. I have a research project and I really can not find out why. If you only know one, it would be great if you could just let me know one. Thanks.
Thank you soo much for that answer. I had a feeling I had the wrong date because I didn't find anything. But thank you again.

A. Hardly Significant but perhaps note worthy - - - and where you got 1960 is weird, AIDS didn;t rear its ugly head until the 1980 s..

But the original Letters Girl on Wheel of Fortune is an Evangelical CHristian and made a big noise about actor Rock Hudson 'accepting' Christ as if every homosexual in AMerica has supposedly rejected Christ and religion in General.

http://www.prayermagazine.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=782:ex-wheel-of-fortune-host-susan-stafford-reveals-how-rock-hudson-received-christ-just-hours-before-he-died-from-complications-from-aids&catid=19:britian-and-beyond&Itemid=26
""Susan Stafford, the original hostess of Wheel of Fortune, has revealed how she was present when a Catholic priest led Rock Hudson in the "sinner's prayer" to receive Jesus Christ into his life just hours before his death aged 59 on Oct. 2, 1985 of complications from AIDS.
Stafford, who preceded Vanna White on the popular game show, revealed the inside story of Rock Hudson's final hours in an exclusive interview with me on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, at the 17th Annual Movieguide® Faith and Values Awards Gala and Report to the Entertainment Industry at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

"Yes, it is true that Rock Hudson accepted Jesus Christ on his deathbed," she said. "The last few hours with Rock Hudson were more than interesting because you see Shirley and Pat Boone had been up there with Gavin and Patty McLeod before them. He had a nurse taking care of him whose name was Toni. I never met Toni as she was on a different shift than my comings and goings at 'The Castle', which was the name we called Rock's home in Beverly Hills.

"Because he was dying of AIDS, there was an unbelievable fear of AIDS at that time."

She worked with leprosy patients

Susan, a born-again Christian who had left the popular game show in 1982, went on to say, "I had just come back from working with former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop with leprosy patients in India, so AIDS was not as frightening to me as it would be to most Americans at that time."

Susan said that friends had invited her to the house to assist Rock Hudson because she they knew she had no fear of AIDS.

She revealed that she knew that Rock Hudson had been raised a Roman Catholic and so she asked him hours before his death if he would like to see a priest. He said he would and so it was arranged for Fr. Terrance A. Sweeney, a five-time Emmy Award winning producer, an ex-Jesuit priest who was ordained to the priesthood on June 15, 1973, to come to his home.

"Rock and myself had a wonderful conversation and then, after the priest arrived, Rock, in a prayer with Fr. Sweeney, accepted our Lord Jesus Christ in his life and then he died shortly afterwards in his own bed on the second floor of the house."

Susan Stafford said she later conducted Rock Hudson's funeral and actress Morgan Fairchild was quoted as saying, "Rock Hudson's death gave AIDS a face."

Susan then said, "After his death, I went back home, which is Kansas City, Missouri, and I talked to people there about Rock Hudson. I was aware that in Missouri, there was a lot of judgment, but the Lord says very clearly that unconditional love, Agape love, is the clearest most perfect love and He died for us. So that means he accepts all of me and all of them because that's His commandment that we love one another.

"That's what I would say anybody who comes to you who's gay, homosexual, has HIV/AIDS, you just love them up. That's what they need. If we don't love each other and instead just keep on judging everybody, we're not going to have any friends left."

Susan Stafford concluded by saying, "Rock Hudson was a real gentleman and accepted his illness with a great sense of humor despite being in a lot of pain."

Peace
