I always loved visiting Aaron at his office; he was a creative genius! Here in 1993.

Gathering with our guests like Angela Lansbury and Peter Shaw in 1994, waiting for Prince Charles to arrive at The Manor.

One of the most memorable events Aaron and I hosted at The Manor in 1994. It was wonderful seeing all of our dearest friends meeting HRH Prince Charles. From left to right, Governor Wilson and his wife, Aaron and I, and Lew and Edie Wasserman.

I was so nervous sitting beside Prince Charles for the evening.

Centro de Niños has always been near and dear to both my heart and my family’s. Angie and Richard Alatorre, Randy, Tori, and Aaron and I with Sandy Serrano-Sewell in 1995.

Combining my love of dolls with one of my favorite organizations, Centro de Niños, I am always looking for ways to empower children.

I love hosting my friends, especially for their remarkable milestones. Here is Suzanne Pleshette, Johnny Carson, and Jack Valenti celebrating Edie Wasserman’s 80th birthday in 1993.

The Manor was filled frequently with gentlemen toasting to their friendships and business endeavors, something Johnny Carson, Steve Lawrence, and Aaron were famous for.

Another great night filled with friends like Eydie and Steve Lawrence with Edie Wasserman.

Normally very private, Aaron connecting with his loyal fans at his book signing in 1996 was wonderful to see. Here a fan presented Aaron with a poster from his first acting job from 1954.

I was so proud of Aaron for all of his accomplishments; it was thrilling to see how well received his autobiography was. The fans adored him in 1996.

In 1996, Aaron and I were honored with the Fulfillment Award from the Fulfillment Fund at UCLA, a nonprofit organization helping Los Angeles students overcome obstacles to achieve a college education.

Jaclyn Smith, a good friend, came to support us at the Fulfillment Award ceremony in 1996.
