At the event that we had last night there was a lot of excitement.
Early yesterday afternoon, our original speaker for the program (the author of the book In Her Shoes) Jennifer Weiner, had to cancel.

After a lot of string pulling and some last minute calls Mia Farrow accepted to speak in Jennifer's absence.

People were actually very impressed and pleasantly surprised.
Mia Farrow is refreshingly personable she came in the front entrance of the hotel, didn't have any security, spoke freely and openly with many before and after the program ended.

I wasn't aware of so much of what she discussed; personal illness, adoption issues, her upbringing. Fortunately she didn't feel it necessary to mention her former husband, it woul've detracted from the frogram anyhow, she's a pretty classy lady =)
