Kevin Costner and Modern West were the featured guests at last night's 24th Annual Bob Costas Benefit for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center at the Fox Theater in St. Louis. The two-time Academy Award winner stopped for this photo and signed a Modern West CD for the collection upon his arrival in town Friday night.


Earlier in the evening, luck was on my side as I only had to wait a few minutes to catch musician Leon Russell as he made his way to his bus following his concert at the Argosy Casino in Alton, IL. Russell posed for this photo and signed a greatest hits disk.

Actress Minnie Driver is in St. Louis, MO, tonight for the Siteman Cancer Center's Illumination Gala at the Ritz Carlton. Driver arrived in St. Louis Thursday, but not on her feet. A running injury (torn achilles tendon) forced her to a wheelchair as she made her way through Lambert St. Louis International Airport. While waiting for her luggage, she happily posed for this shot and added her signature to my Good Will Hunting DVD (already with Matt Damon and Robin Williams) and a couple of 8x10s.


I got a bonus as I turned around to find former St. Louis Cardinals slugger and current batting coach Mark McGwire waiting for his wife and her luggage (she was on the same flight). McGwire posed for this shot while waiting.


Earlier in the afternoon, actor/comedian Kevin Hart arrived in anticipation of his stand-up concert at the Scottrade Center and a screening of a new movie in which he appears, "Think Like a Man." Hart signed two 8x10s and took this photo.
