Hollywood feted its master when Vanity Fair celebrated Billy Wilder at the launch party for Cameron Crowe's book Conversations with Wilder. The 93-year-old Wilder and his wife, Audrey, held court at Mortons' rear banquette, where custom tablecloths featured original movie-poster art from some of Wilder's greatest films, including Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch, Double Indemnity, and Sunset Boulevard. Although Wilder shied away from Crowe's offer to appear in Jerry Maguire, he was certainly ready for his literary close-up, receiving, with typical aplomb, his famous fans, among them: Mick Jagger, Tom Ford, Edie and Lew Wasserman, Cyd Charisse, Betsy Bloomingdale, Angie Dickinson, Renee Zellweger, Steve Martin, Selma Blair, and Kate Hudson. Guests swung to the music of a fellow reveler, the legendary Artie Shaw, while Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon watched scenes from The Apartment and Irma la Douce flash on the dining room's back wall. "Shirley called the next day," Crowe said, "to thank me for reuniting her with Billy and Jack."
