at SAG EventThe newly renovated Argyle Hotel (it's gorgeous) was the perfect setting for a star studded kick off for the Screen Actors Guild Foundation Actors Resource Center. There was a smattering of veteran actors like James Cromwell, Piper Laurie and Ernie Borgnine, schmoozing with the newer kids on the block like Sean Astin, Eva Mendes and Jason Priestly.

We fit in somewhere around the middle – and chatted up a storm with Fran Drescher, who was with her ex-hubby Peter Mark Jacobson ( co-creator of "The Nanny")and gorgeous Marj Helgenberger (CSI Vegas), who was with her current and hopefully forever mate , actor Alan Rosenberg.
