I’ve admired Anita Hill since she made headlines during the US Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas. She introduced Jane Fonda at the DVF Awards. Me: “We’re both Leos. You’re July 30 & I’m July 27. I’m a year older. We look pretty good for 70s.” Anita: “Want to take a selfie?”

I’m up late! The DVF Awards are always inspiring. They recognize, support & amplify extraordinary women. Jane Fonda will be 89 in December & spoke without notes. Gisèle Pelicot got 2 standing ovations. Mingling at after-party at Palazzo Franchetti🥂
