History

From 4^th to 13^th Sep­tem­ber 1992.
The Amer­i­can Film Fes­ti­val inau­gu­rat­ed its “Palais des Fes­ti­vals”, the Cen­tre Inter­na­tion­al de Deauville (C.I.D). For the pur­pose of ensur­ing an unfor­get­table “Stars’ Night” for the 17 pres­ti­gious guests of hon­our who had jour­neyed to the Fes­ti­val – amongst them Cyd Charisse, James Coburn, Claudette Col­bert, Bri­an de Pal­ma, Joseph L. Mankiewicz and even Buzz Aldrin (who roamed the beach in his astronaut’s uni­form!) – they each received a piece of Deauville’s Board­walk as a sou­venir. The Fes­ti­val also hon­oured Jack Lem­mon, Paul Schrad­er, Jes­si­ca Tandy, and Hume Cronyn, and got back togeth­er with Whoopi Gold­berg in Emile Ardolino’s Sis­ter Act to the great delight of the public.
