Metin Bereketli and Gene Hackman
Metin with one and only Tommy Lasorda, the legendary Manager of LA Dodgers, since 1976!

Mr. Lasorda is the pride of not only all Italian-Americans, but all Americans, period.

During the FEAST OF SAN GENNARO Metin had a solo art exhibition and donated his collectible reproductions. The wonderful VIP Opening Night Gala "PRIMA NOTTE" was attended by such celebrities as Tommy Lasorda, Tony Danza, Kimmy Kimmel, Adam Carolla and many others.

Who can forget Tony Danza of the "Tony Danza Show" and "Who's the Boss?" The warm-hearted gentleman Tony is still the Boss to all his fans.
Joe Mantegna, another true "son of Italy" and unforgettable actor of such hits as feature film "Liberty Heights" and TV series "Last Don" was among those who visited Metin's art exhibition at the festival.
The incomparable Lou Rawls, the velvet king of jazz, also stopped by Metin's exhibition to congratulate the Hollywood Painter in person.
