Michael Jackson made one of his rare appearances. His wife, Lisa Marie Presley, also showed up. So did Lew Wasserman, Tom Hanks, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Sean Connery, Barry Diller, Anjelica Huston, Neil Simon and just about everyone else.
No, it was not a pre-Academy Award event. It was probably more significant.It was a 50th-birthday party given by Carrie Fisher, the writer-actress, and director Penny Marshall and several others for one of the town's most popular dermatologists and, more important, plastic surgeons, Dr. Arnold (everyone calls him Arnie) Klein.
The event was dutifully and seriously reported in the Hollywood Reporter. In Hollywood, Klein is considered a king. The newspaper called him "a genius with collagen."
