Hollywood Royalty

So imagine our surprise when Brad Pitt—the most paparazzi-hounded star on the planet—was dropped off on Hollywood Boulevard and strode blithely through the theater's front doors, disguised only by a pair of sunglasses.

Onstage, Pitt was joined by five other remarkable actors of 2006: Cate Blanchett, Forest Whitaker, Helen Mirren, Penelope Cruz and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Needless to say, the audience was buzzing. But so were the stars, who listened with obvious delight as their fellow actors discussed their lives, their craft, their passions and their fears.

Blanchett, who played Brad's wife in Babel, took some friendly potshots at Pitt's work ethic. They all schmoozed and laughed and asked each other questions for more than two hours—yes, bathroom breaks were permitted—and when time ran out, they didn't seem to want to stop. Neither did we.
