    Midway through the event, Jean Shafiroff thanked guests for attending, as well as Steve Bernstein, President of the Southampton Hospital Foundation, for his outstanding job in fundraising, and the Phillips family for their important contribution.

    Guests also heard from Drs. Samuel Ryu, Yusuf Hannun, and Kenneth Kaushansky of Stony Brook Medicine, and Dr. Fredric Weinbaum of Southampton Hospital, who each spoke about their individual role in the creation and development of the center.

    Robert Chaloner, President and CEO of Southampton Hospital, then thanked Jean for her hospitality and said that the year Jean hosted the Hospital’s Annual Summer Party was the most successful to date, raising over $2 million.

    He then spoke about the creation of the center, saying, “Cancer patients undergoing treatment are often physically weakened, and adding a long trip to and from an appointment only adds to the stress.” He continued, “We are grateful to the Phillips family for making cancer treatment closer to home for many patients on the East End of Long Island.”

    Also in attendance Jean’s husband Martin Shafiroff, Julie Ratner, Valerie and Carl Kempner, Chris and Dick Hiegel, Barbara and Henry Gooss, Nancy Chemtob, and poker Queen Beth Shak and Rick Leventhal. 

    Support the hospital and attend the 58th Annual Summer Party on August 6th in Southampton in which Chuck Scarborough will emcee. www.southamptonhospital.org

    Created by Steven Zaillian (“Schindler’s List”) and Richard Price (HBO’s “The Wire”), this new eight-part limited series debuting Sunday, July 10 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO just sneaked the first episode and it was gripping and had me on the edge of my seat the entire hour and a half.

    Starring the totally amazing and underrated John Turturro (“O Brother, Where Art Thou?”) and newer face Riz Ahmed (“Nightcrawler”), the show delves into the intricacies of a complex New York City murder case with cultural and political overtones. The story examines the police investigation, the legal proceedings, the criminal justice system and Rikers Island, where the accused await trial.

    I suggest you check it out.

    That’s the stunning & talented Diane Kruger talking to Town & Country’s August issue, on newsstands July 5th.

    Besides Hollywood’s very alive pay gap, Diane opens up to the magazine on her beau, actor Joshua Jackson, her humble upbringing in Germany and new life in Paris as a young model, having an identity crisis at age 30, feminism in Hollywood, and much more.

    QUOTES

    On leaving her home in Germany for life as a model in Paris at age 15:

    “This whole other life opened for me in Paris. I met actors; I watched films. When I was growing up, the movie theater was 20 miles from my house, I spent every day watching The Nanny. After a few years in Paris I realized I wanted to go to drama school.” 

    On having an identity crisis at age 30:

    “I had become arrogant. I had been a model, I spoke three languages, I had a career. I felt I had figured it all out. And then I realized that I was living in this very privileged life in my own bubble that I created and I [didn’t] know anything about what [was] really going on in the world and I [didn’t] ask enough questions… I made a lot of different choices. I cut people out of my life who I felt were enabling my bubble.”

    On meeting long-time love, actor Joshua Jackson:

    “Meeting someone like my partner, who has a very different perspective, who likes to travel in a different way and be open to various experience was so important. I was 30 years old and I was already bored of fancy hotels.”

    On feminism and the pay gap in Hollywood:

    “I have yet to be paid the same amount as a male costar. And absolutely I’ve been labeled a bitch, or difficult to work with, when I’ve spoken up about something. Or it’s ‘She doesn’t really know what she’s talking about.
