Watch More Picture
A Hollywood themed birthday party this week in Salem celebrated a different aspect of movie super stardom.
The grand red carpet was laid out for the 70th birthday party of Patricia Naas of West Salem, who is known for her role with the Salem Library Foundation..
Patricia's daughter is Susan Hartwick, wife of Joe Hartwick, President of feature film production for 20th Century Fox.
Susan grew up in the Salem area, and graduated from McNary High School. When asked her thoughts, Susan said, "My mom is as active as a teenager. She golfs, dances and enjoys the Pentacle & Elsinore Theatres as well as First Wednesday. She makes 70 the new 50!"
Rebecca Maitland of the Reed Opera House in Salem, says the event celebrating this mother carried, "A really powerful message" - and one that you don't hear often enough.
"It was a fantastic, fun night with spotlights, strobes and original paintings of famous actors."
In fact, she described the evening as mainstream Hollywood in reverse.
"You could feel the celebration for all mothers, it was fun treating her like a rock star".
The party for Patricia Naas was held at the classic Reed Opera House in Salem which Maitland oversees.
"Organizers of this special event say a round of thanks to Susan's siblings Randy Naas of West Salem, and Kimberly Herr of Wilsonville.From:www.salem-news.com

Simon Cowell already has helped launch quite a few musical careers
Simon Cowell already has helped launch quite a few musical careers -- from Susan Boyle to Leona Lewis to pretty much anyone on "American Idol" to an extent -- but now, he is setting his sights on a certain "Twilight" star by the name of Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson certainly does have some musical talent (he plays both the piano and guitar), but he is also is a little wary of taking the first offer out there from a big-name producer. A source told British publication The Sun that "Robert is reluctant to be turned into a pop star - and takes his music very seriously...He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with 'X Factor' and pop."
The paper also reports that, thanks to Cowell's involvement, there is now a bidding war breaking out over who gets to produce Pattinson's music. The kicker? These are all just offers, since the actor has yet to show that he's really that into going out on tour. Many big-name stars have attempted a musical career in the past, and while some (Jamie Foxx) found success others (Scarlett Johansson) floundered.
Do you think Robert Pattinson could be both a great singer and actor? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more news.From:www.examiner.com
