Over the years of working as a film critic in NYC, I had many opportunities to interview or meet celebrities. Many Cannes and New York Festivals enabled me to see and meet some of Cinema's finest talents. Here I've compiled a collection of photos I took on those special occasions. Some of these talented people are no longer with us, so it's especially touching to revisit them here.

Enjoy.

COLE AT THE WARHOL

Cole at the Warhol

During my recent visit to Pittsburgh, we visited The Andy Warhol Museum. What fun! If you're ever in Pittsburgh, be sure to walk across the river. I should mention that the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel is a great place to stay; you've got a clear view of Pirates baseball games!
