Featuring an imitation Marilyn Moore among others, the Coral Gables Art Cinema’s second annual fundraiser and red-carpet event, Some Like It Hotter! was a big success.

Held at the Coral Gables Museum on Saturday night, Jan. 19, the event attracted patrons in a variety of fashions, from formal to vintage 1950′s styles.

Guests enjoyed food from Thierry’s Catering, an open bar courtesy of Bacardi, live music, a silent auction, celebrity impersonators and other surprises.

Proceeds supported the Coral Gables Cinema, 260 Aragon Ave., the leading first-run art cinema and film arts center in South Florida.
