As celebrities trickled down the red carpet, talk among them was of  their desire to support their friend, Alison, as well as of the importance of organizations like the Eastwood Ranch to not only provide help for the animals but to also educate people on the importance of animal rescue and adoption. Actresses, Mariel Hemingway and Marcia Gay Harden both  expressed hope that the event would  encourage more people to consider adoption instead of shopping for animals online and in stores.
