To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth, FLC is partnering with Piper-Heidsieck Champagne for a one-night-only special event featuring an archival 35mm print of Howard Hawks’s classic, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The film stars Monroe and Jane Russell as lounge singers on a transatlantic cruise, working their way to Paris while enjoying the company of any eligible men they might meet along the way. The famous musical numbers dazzle with rich colors and wink-wink lyrics, but underneath there’s a touching tale of friendship tested and Hawks’s clever take on gender politics.
Following the screening, all ticket holders are invited to attend a reception in the Walter Reade Theater’s Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery to enjoy Piper-Heidsieck Champagne (for guests 21+), hors d’oeuvres, and a special fundraiser auction with all proceeds benefiting FLC, featuring:
- A Piper-Heidsieck Champagne art bottle and original art piece designed by artist Russell Young
- An exclusive trip to Champagne, France, featuring a behind-the-scenes Piper-Heidsieck experience
- And more!
