An Evening at Studio 53

Suggested attire for the Odyssey Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel was “Boots and Bowties.” The gala honored Mark B. Faries, MD, who received the “Duke Award,” and Ruth Weil, recipient of the Donald L. Morton Legend Award.
Funds received from the event benefitted the John Wayne Cancer Institute, named in honor of the Duke himself, whose portrayal of rugged cowboys and brave soldiers in scads of films earned him an Academy Award for “True Grit.”
Weatherman Kaj Goldberg welcomed the 500 guests and noted that “cowboys were the first superheroes.” One of Wayne‘s biggest battles was his fight to defeat cancer, and he was the first celeb. to bring his personal fight onto the world stage. As his son, Patrick Wayne, chairman of the J.W. Cancer Institute stated, “While cancer has not been fully vanquished, we’ve gotten into some punches worthy of John Wayne.”
Kudos to Anita Swift, John’s granddaughter and president of the auxiliary, co-chairs of the gala, Martha Harper, Colleen Pennell, Beth Rawjee and Jessica Royer, and their hardworking committees for a rip-roaring rodeo, which raised over $750,000 to fight this dreaded disease.
