An Evening with Steve Guttenberg
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Diner

Cinema Arts Centre Fundraiser
Film / Discussion / Book-Signing / Reception

Join Movie Star (and Long Islander) Steve Guttenberg for a special screening of Diner, Barry Levinson's classic movie about five college-age buddies struggling with their imminent passage into adulthood in 1959 Baltimore, which kickstarted the careers of Guttenberg, Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Paul Reiser, Daniel Stern, and Ellen Barkin

Followed by a Book Signing of Steve Guttenberg's delightful new memoir, The Guttenberg Bible

Steve Guttenberg, who grew up in Massapequa, starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1980's Police Academy, Short Circuit, Cocoon, and Three Men and a Baby. But his meteoric rise began in 1982, with a role in Barry Levinson's first feature film, Diner. This ensemble piece about five college-age buddies struggling with their imminent passage into adulthood in 1959 Baltimore helped launch the careers of several other film marquee mainstays of that eraMickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, and Ellen Barkin. Following the screening of Diner, and a Q+A with the audience, Guttenberg will be signing copies of his new memoir, The Guttenberg Bible, which hilariously details the highs and lows of his career, from his early days sneaking onto Paramount's back lot to starring in films alongside Sir Laurence Olivier. Guttenberg's honest and insightful tale is one of the most sympathetic and unguarded Hollywood stories to date. (USA, 1982, 110 min, color, 35mm)

"The Guttenberg Bible is better than the original! Steve's story of his journey through Hollywood is for actors what Adventures in the Screen Trade is for writers. An honest, humorous and instructive account of how to navigate thru this crazy town we call Hollywood." WOODY HARRELSON
