A Fine Affair for A Fine Romance

Filed under:

It was a fine affair for Darcie Denkert’s A Fine Romance. The book, which is about the musical love affair between Broadway and Hollywood, had its release party on October 20 at the Times Square Studios. Subtitled “The Magic. The Mayhem. The Musicals,” the tome is an amalgam of everyone–and everything–you’d want to know about material that went from Broadway to Hollywood and vice versa. Several Broadway stars were on hand to toast the author–and to help the terrific causes that the book serves: all proceeds benefit the Actors’ Fund as well as the Motion Picture Television Fund.
