TCM Classic Film Festival 2019 Red Carpet Event

TCMFF’s 10th Anniversary Red Carpet Event

Well, another TCM Classic Film Festival has come and gone, and as always, as soon as I start heading home, I also start counting the days until next year’s Festival. For me, the TCMFF is not only about wonderful films and special events; it’s also about community, friendship and bonding — a place where I can reunite with friends and enjoy non-stop ‘morning, noon and night’ classic movie fun… 

That said, this was the 10th Anniversary of the Film Festival, and I was thrilled to be able to cover the Opening Night Red Carpet that kicked off the Festival, this year in celebration of the 30th anniversary of When Harry Met Sally, with Rob Reiner, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in attendance…  I compiled a short video below that includes the highlights of the event for me, with snippets of interviews with Barbara Rush, Diane Baker, Eddie Muller, Mario Cantone and Illeana Douglas among others… Hope you enjoy…

    Thank you so much for compiling this video. Wonderful to see and hear everyone.

  2. Jeanelle Kleveland says:

    You got some good pictures of the stars. Thanks.

    Question: What time did you get most of your photos?
    This year was my first time on the red carpet. My friend Richard and I were not sure what time to go, plus we didn’t want to sit too long inside Grauman’s before the film screening. I think we came in too late for most of the red carpet activity. I was just in front of Ted Turner…I didn’t know he was behind me… so imagine my surprise when I turned around looking for my friend Richard and was face to face with Ted Turner himself. He was who I was looking forward to seeing that night! He told great anecdotes inside the theater. Gone With The Wind is his favorite movie. He always wanted to BE Rhett Butler. (Now we know the origin for his moustache.) The rest is TCM history.

      Hi Ana, wow, I don’t even remember what time I was there… it’s all such a blur! But what a fantastic time the Red Carpet always is!

  4. Sara Stewart says:

    What a great video! This event looks like so much fun, hoping I can attend one day. Ron Perlman looks fabulous!

  5. Stuart Cook says:

    This is some priceless footage, and envy you for having been able to attend this! I had been to a couple of Cinecon conventions in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and there literally is NOTHING like being around the stars themselves.
