Judith Ward celebrates 70!

(Year 234, Spring) Global Actress Judith Ward turns 70! Although she would have preferred staying at 69 for a few more years, she went for the big announcement, that a huge party is. In the formal invitation she made it clear that she wanted to check how it is to not limit your friends to the fame level right under your own! Perhaps it was a hint that she has passed the peak of her career, but there were certainly some suggesting that she is still afraid that all the guests would believe she wants their friendship after he party... This was obviously meant as a one night only.

Well, the guest list was long, but they all had some connection to either Judith personally, or to her long film career. The party can begin!

Or wait! Let's rewind a couple hours...

Going this big will naturally attract some journalists, and some fans? Judith walked out on her front porch before the guests started to arrive. Like always, she is good at giving the journalists what they came for - his time they desired a picture of an elderly woman.

And those crowds of screaming fans? 

Well... they were not that many... where are they hiding? Hm... 

She told the journalists to behave, and if she heard no complaints from guests, Judith would send her butler out with some champagne. One lucky photographer was permitted entrance, but just for one hour.

- Royals are expected, please behave!

A few fans were thrilled to see their favorite Actress. Or, well, not all of them...

- I'm no fan of hers, said Prudence Effenmont (86), standing next to the unsuccessful country artist, Vivian (64). - What's the big deal? She made it to 70. I've been there, done that. It was hell, and no photographers at my dor, but I made it!

Once she guested the Simmerville Show and got a chance to tell the star in person that acting is easy and that Prudence could do just as well as Judith if she gave it a try.

- Okay, so I did try, and it brought me not even close to her fame, but I still ihink acting looks easy!

Meanwhile, Judith walked back inside.

 

The Ward Den was nicely decorated, and the theme seemed to be balloons, pink feathers and plenty of liquids. Judith welcomed all her guests, not by a simple toast, but with a microphone and a violin player supporting her for ten minutes. She said she wanted to get all the important chat done, so that she could concentrate on enjoying the night together with them all. She talked about the past and the future, but she avoided sharing any plans regardin her own film career. Will there be a twist now that she is elderly? Only granny roles? Perhaps not as many offers because the productions would need women younger than herself?

The many guests were quiet for the entire speach, of course there were a few cheers when they were more or less instructed to. Most of these people are well experienced with dramaturgy and easy to direct, after all.

Mant familiar faces were spotted: Lord Leon (39), now using the name Leon Roxenfox in an attempt to become less noble, did play a supporting role in Judith's recent hit film «Lemonade» (Y233), as well as in her «Killing my Shadow» (Y231). Behind him stands Venessa Jeong (46), more known for being married to jazz legend Olivia Clump's son Garvin, than for her supporting roles in «Lemonade» (Y233) and numerous horror movies like «Deep Water» (Y232) and «The Sump» (Y229). Octavia Moon (53) (white skirt) is another global star, recently founding Moon Books publisher (could her next bestselling biography involve Juith?). Stefan Cloud (blue suit) was Judith's co-lead in «Lemonade» (Y233). In the background, left to right: Actress Princess Aleccandria (not quite succeeded as an actress, but had a supporting role in last year's children's movie «My Horse Thunderbolt»), Sabrina Morris, Khloe A. Mervil known from hosting the Bagged Talent TV-show (Y230), Fritz Mervil (CEO of Simmerville Studio and host of the Simmerville Show), Suzi Sushi (singer), Vince Remeréz (painter), Prince Ace Baron of Portefino, and Penny Pizzazz (model and actress, she gets her first lead role this year in movie «Love You all the Way to Ciudad Enamorada»).

And we'll continue...

Left to right (above): Actor Chaos Kessler (supporting role in Judith's «Best Friends Forever», Y230) with wife Tamara (singer and trip sister of Khloe A. Mervil), Diego Lobo (Arts Critic that was supported by Judith since he was a teenager), Gerda Ruthfield (Manager of G.R.A.N. talent agency) and Olla Jones (jazz singer).

Then, Judith revealed some news...

- Did you all wonder what the construction work behind our dear Studio PBP was all about? Well, I got my own Judith Lounge! And it comes with a feature that most of you would not expect from me! Opening night will be this Summer, and I'm sorry to inform some of you that entrance is way more restricted

than tonight!

Then she hinted that anyone wanting to say something during the next hours could give a toast, and if she was not near by, her butler will update her on any nice words meant for her.

Judith kept her mask on all night. Was she trying to hide some new wrinckles?

She posed with Lord Leon. He married into the House of Roxenfox and just had his first child.

Venessa Jeong and husband Garvin Clump seemed to have a nice time.

They have been married for 15 years already and lives in Newcrest with their 2 sons.

To many's surprise, Judith's husband, Don Lothario (90), was not seen as a regular guest, but was wearing a butler's costume. There were always rumprs that Judith once hired him as a servant for his good looks, and that they married simply because it was the only way Judoth could get a legit heir to the House of Ward, originally headed by Judith's second husband, film director Mr Severin Ward. Don is Judith's 4th husband, and the only one she has children with. Their oldest (unlegit) daughter, Genevieva (10), is currently in boarding school, and son Stephano (5) is in daycare during his mother's party.

Don Lothario was serving guests all night. He's sure looking good for a man aged 90! It seems likely that rumors are true, he never actually quit his butler job and he still sleeps in the Ward Den's servant section only accessed via the kitchen.

Two female party guests sat down to enjoy a chat an a couple drinks.

Gerda Ruthfield recently took over G.R.A.N. after her elderly mother, Goldie, who was also guesting the party. Judith is not signed with G.R.A.N. but they are central in showbiz. Singer Olla Jones (right) is releasing her first album this year.

A rather unusual mix of guests (above): Mrs Aili (von Kaching) Landgraab (49), Minister of Culture & Entertainment Anaya Jang (68), and actress Fedibeth Tapper (54). Fedibeth is known from several horror movies 20 years ago (most recent ws «Night of the Dead», Y218), and she is now working on a comeback this year with a lead role in movie «My Late Sister in Ravenwood». She came directly from a film set to join the party.

Then Judith wanted some attention again, and posed with "last year's two most important men in showbiz":

 

The guy in a blue suit is Stefan Cloud, who played the other lead in last year's success «Lemonade». The man behind Judith is film director Prince Briscoe, who directed that film, but that Judith has worked with on many productions in the past.

Party went on into the small hours. Judith probably forgot to tell Don about those thirsty journalists waiting ouside.

- It is a great party!, said Elsa Bjergsen Gobelin (34) and Alfonso Alto (73). - But you can hardly find a wall without a huge portrait of Judith!

Elsa B. Gobelin is situated in Widenburg, but works with Gobelin Fashion in San Myshuno. Alfonso Alto is the Manager of Well Suited Talent, where Judith has been signed for 35 (!) years.

- She is the dream Actress to most movies, explaied Alto, who was at the party with his acting wife, Fehla. - She knows her acting, but she also has a rare gift of dragging attention to any production she is involved with.

In the packground (above) Simmerville Studio's news anchor, Paulo Caliente (43) is walking into that arch. He is Don Lothario's son, making Judith his step mom. Paulo has been criticized for not bringing enough viewers to his «Mazaloom NEWS» (formerly «Reg 12 NEWS»).

Well, it was a fun night. Don Lothario must be very exhausted serving all these people at his high age. And tomorrow he will be busy too, cleaning up this place. One could wonder if someone wants to see Don extremely exhausted...?
