Hollywood descended upon Chicago as actors Christina Applegate, Jai Courtney, Colin Farrell and Taylor Lautner turned out to the Hyatt Regency Chicago (151 E. Upper Wacker) to raise awareness and fund research for a rare neuro-genetic disorder. The Dec. 2 event — which raised more than $4 million for Angelman syndrome research — featured a three-course dinner for the 1,300 guests, swing music by singers Ross and Glenn Faila and local medley band 7th Heaven.
Get this: Past attendees of the gala have included actors like Rosie Perez, Wilmer Valderrama, Retta and Vincent D’Onofrio.
