Blake Lively is a floral beauty while attending the 2013 A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s Event at The Waldorf Astoria on Saturday (November 9) in New York City.
The 26-year-old actress was seen posing with her husband Ryan Reynolds and Chris Martin at the event, which benefited The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
The couple attended the annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Parkinson’s event, which benefits The Michael J Fox Foundation.
Other attendees who showed up at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel included Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, Julianna Margulies, Mario Batali, Joan Jett, George Stephanopoulos and Savannah Guthrie. Denis Leary hosted the fundraiser and Martin performed.
Like Fox, Reynolds’ father suffers from Parkinson’s disease. “You meet the people who work with this foundation, and so many of them have absolutely no affiliation with the disease whatsoever other than their job, and they were brought to it by a common denominator, which is Michael, and he’s so inspiring and you just see the people that work with this foundation and how tirelessly they give everything they have to it and you start to forget that you’re only here because someone you care about has Parkinson’s,” the Canadian star told The Hollywood Reporter. “I was really blown away by the whole operation.” “Hollywood is fantastic at whoring themselves out for a good cause and more power to them,” the ‘R.I.P.D.’ star joked.
