The Beckstrand Cancer Foundation hosted “An Evening in Russia” for their Ninth Annual Diamond & Pearl Ball to celebrate the life and work of actress and iconic Charlie’s Angel, Farrah Fawcett, who fell victim to cancer in 2009. On Saturday, October 13, 2012, the blacktie gala transformed The Hangar at the Orange County Fairgrounds into “Moscow Red Square” featuring a dynamic red ballroom, towering building structures, Fabergé egg centerpieces, ice curtains, and decadent table linens. The 446 guests in attendance were entertained by a contemporary version of the traditional Kalinka dance, a gourmet feast, and Russian aerialists that descended from the ceiling. Hosted by Eva La Rue, the foundation’s national spokesperson and star of CSI: Miami, and Lil Spitzer, Beckstrand’s Executive Director, the event recognized author, filmmaker, and current president of The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, Alana Stewart, for her outstanding contributions.
