• Photo #12: Anjani's Facebook page: "Whew! what a great night. Highlights...Alan Rickman did a riveting recital of 3 of Leonard's poems, Adrienne Clarkson's speech made me cry...Serena, John Prine, The Cowboy Junkies, Adam--everybody on the roster did a gorgeous job!! And the vibe backstage was so cool. Really enjoyed speaking with Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and he got a kick out of hearing how much we loved his performance in The Big Lebowski. That and Groundhog Day are in the Top 10 of Leonard's and my favorite movies."
