Miyashita had come with festival organizing committee members Akio Minamoto and Keizo Miyamoto, both of whom spoke much better English than he did. The three worked the room, being introduced to people like Lindsay Wagner, Paul Michael Glaser, Elke Sommer and Richard Anderson by Gunilla Lelouch, whom they'd recruited to organize the World Movie Stars Charity Tournament. She's the wife of director Claude Lelouch. Still, some of the stars playing may have to make their own way in Tokyo. Among those who made the party were Connie Stevens, Ron Ely, Dick Van Patten and Trini Lopez. Unable to make it to Beverly Hills, though promising to show in Tokyo-and if negotiations go through, Americans will be able to see them on cable-were Dinah Shore, Eva Gabor, Jose Ferrer, Elliott Gould, Daryl Hannah, Cathy Lee Crosby, Diahann Carroll and Diane Lane.
