Senator Clinton is heading West to California next week and planning to draw on her Hollywood connections to refill her campaign's coffers in the lead-up to the April 22 primary in Pennsylvania. Hollywood types backing the April 3 fund-raiser in Beverly Hills include Jamie Lee Curtis, Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson, Fran Drescher, Sally Field, Debra Messing, Kathy Najimy, Rob Reiner, Bradley Whitford, and Daphne Zuniga.
According to an invitation obtained by The New York Sun, the gathering, billed as "Hillary LIVE - Los Angeles!" is slated to take place at the Wilshire Theater. The invite says $100 tickets are sold out, though $150 seats are still available.
The Sun has also learned that the Clinton campaign's madcap fundraising schedule has President Clinton attending a $500-a-head dinner in Boston tonight. The public schedule for the indefatigable ex-president today shows only three campaign events for his wife in West Virginia.
This evening, Mrs. Clinton and daughter Chelsea are on the bill at a low-dollar fundraiser at D.A.R. Constitutional Hall in Washington. Later, the former first lady is also expected at a $1000-a-head gathering at the home of a former American ambassador to the United Nations, Esther Coopersmith.
The Beverly Hills shindig next week is scheduled for the second day of what seems to be at least a two-day swing Mrs. Clinton is planning through California. She is to attend fund-raisers on April 2 in Menlo Park, Calif. and on April 3 in San Francisco.
