Kristen Bell and Zachary Quinto Perform at Alzheimer’s Benefit | Kristen Confirms She Will Be Back for Season 3
Heroes’ stars Kristen Bell and Zachary Quinto were among the stars who performed at last night’s “A Night at Sardi’s” benefit for Alzheimers. The 16th annual show featured Kristen and Zach in a production of the Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie directed by Jason Alexander. The production also featured Vanessa Williams, Lea Thompson, Ana Ortiz, and Zachary Levi.
Boston Legal creator David E. Kelley was honored at the gala for his portrayal of Alzheimer’s disease on the show. William Shatner, who plays the Alzheimer’s-affected character Denny Crane on Boston Legal, was also in attendance. Becki Newton, Steven Weber, Portia de Rossi, Candice Bergen, John Larroquette, Victor Garber, Michelle Pfeiffer, Blythe Danner and Dick Van Dyke (who starred in the original Bye Bye Birdie) were among the attendees and performers.
While at the event, Kristen Bell was asked about the rumors that she might not be back for Season 3 of Heroes. She put those rumors to bed when she confirmed that she will be returning after all. “Because I’m not under contract, everyone’s been asking,” she said. “I had a wonderful experience. I did take a job, doing the Disney movie When in Rome with Josh Duhamel, so I’ll be in New York and Rome for 12 weeks. But (Heroes producers) said they’d wait to shoot my scenes. They’ve been so good to me, so I think we’ll be a happy family again.” Good news for Elle fans!
