EVENTS

Hollywood Gala Salute to Bill Clinton

The largest Hollywood tribute ever produced for a sitting President of the United States.

 

This event took place at the private Brentwood, California estate of businessman Ken Roberts. It was produced and hosted by Peter F. Paul and Aaron Tonken.

 

Besides honoring President Bill Clinton, it also served as a fund raising event for the 2000 U.S. Senate election campaign of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, and was the largest such event of her campaign.

 

The event also included the largest invitation-only private concert, featuring eight international headlining artists. The event included both a dinner and a concert, and about 350 people accepted invitations to both.

 

The singers during the concert included Michael Bolton, Cher, Toni Braxton, Patti Labelle, Sugar Ray, and Diana Ross. Celebrities in attendance included John Travolta, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Alexander, and Muhammad Ali and his wife Lonnie Ali. White House daughter Chelsea Clinton was also present for the event.
