| Rodney Dangerfield Hollywood--October 5, 2005--The word Respect was emblazoned 2000 feet tall and three miles long across the Hollywood skyline to the delight of awestruck guests. Skywriting was only one of the unusual surprises in store for friends of late comedy legend Rodney Dangerfield as they gathered at his Hollywood Hills home to honor his first year of Immortality. Joan Dangerfield, Rodney's widow, said the idea to host the event came to her in a dream and she was thrilled to manifest the vision. A throng of tinsel town?s funniest comics were thrilled too as they sipped rose martinis and mingled by the infinity pool lit with Rodney's image as they recalled their favorite memories of him. Mrs. Dangerfield spoke lovingly about her husband and their relationship that spanned over 20 years. She also shared Rodney?s last words and his last joke, which was inspired by party guest and fellow comedian, Robert Wuhl. In keeping with the evening?s spirit of Immortality, each guest was given a live Monarch butterfly for a special Native American butterfly release ceremony led by Farrah Fawcett. The ceremony ended with a collective wish for Rodney to receive in Immortality the one thing he felt he was never able to get in his life on earth, respect. As the butterflies fluttered away, the guests broke into applause when they were surprised to see the word Respect floating in the sky.
