"In Last Chance Harvey, Dustin Hoffman plays a man who lost nearly everything in a span of a dozen hours; at last night's Piaget-hosted Cinema Society screening of the film, one might venture that a role was a bit of stretch for the ever-popular Oscar winner .. (Director Joel) Hopkins wasn't the only one starstruck by the cast--his film had plenty of fans of the likes of Marc Jacobs, Ivana Trump, Bebe Neuwirth, Brittany Snow, Susan Stroman, and Lisa Kudrow at the Lincoln Square screening .. (Emma) Thompson, meanwhile took time to dissect her luxurious ensemble: nothing more than a fur coat and diamonds. 'My stones are all borrowed from London,' she admitted. 'I feel like I'm original queen of bling tonight. But underneath my coat, I'm really just wearing a bra and a pair of wool skin tights. You can't really do that during the summer, can you?'"
