Mr. Helen Mirren.

First celeb sighting... Producer/director Taylor Hackford, a.k.a Mr. Helen Mirren, at the restaurant Ago (like Spago without the “sp”)—great Italian, backed by Bobby DeNiro and the Weinsteins.

A woman with tremendous teased-up, prom-queen blonde hair was reading her date the riot act a few tables away, his overly cosmeticised face barely registering dismay.

The waiters may have been real Italians, or they may have been central casting Italian-like actors from Peoria. But they were nice.
