Premieres in Westwood, home of UCLA, are always a boisterous adventure. “The Last Samurai” , with its bevy of A-List cast and guests, was no exception.
Television crews are normally on the same side of the red carpet as photographers. Having them across from us only added to the mayhem. Making her U.S. motion picture debut, Japanese television star Koyuki seemed to enjoy the experience.
