Sarah Jessica Parker, Christine Lahti and Debra Winger are scheduled for later shows.

Bart currently serves as vice president and editor-in-chief where he presides
over the editorial content of Daily Variety (both LA and Gotham editions), Weekly Variety and Variety.com. Formerly, he was an executive at Paramount Pictures where he presided over many award -winning films including The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby and Harold and Maude, among others.

Guber is the chairman of Mandalay Pictures, former CEO of Sony Pictures, and the producer of dozens of Hollywood’s most successful movies including Midnight Express, Batman and Rain Man.
