KEVIN SPACEY, OBE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES MOVIE STARS AND I LOVE HIM IN 'AMERICAN BEAUTY' (1999), 'HOUSE OF CARDS', 'THE USUAL SUSPECTS', 'SEVEN' AND 'HORRIBLE BOSSES' BUT HIS ROLE IN 'AMERICAN BEAUTY' REALLY IMPRESSED ME.
Now, he has again impressed me no end by reading 'The Little Prince' to kids at Harrods on 20 November 2013 in London. This was to commemorate the launch of 2 special edition timepieces at RM 17,000 and RM 157,000 now available at IWC shop in Pavilion KL

"Are you a Little Prince then?" asked Kevin Stacey, Friend of the Brand IWC
At the dinner, Kevin Spacey and Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, mingled with guests, who were offered a preview of the new IWC timepieces: the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVII Edition “Le Petit Prince” and the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Le Petit Prince”.
“The evening allowed us to honour Antoine de SaintExupéry for the great writer and humanist he was, from whom we, as a brand, draw much inspiration and who has remained a paragon of courage, pioneering spirit and passion to this day,” commented Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. “With our long tradition of manufacturing Pilot’s Watches, we feel bound to Antoine de SaintExupéry in many ways. As a company with a strong sense of social responsibility, we are proud to have been the partners of the Antoine de SaintExupéry Youth Foundation since 2006. We’re delighted that Kevin Spacey was able to join us for such an important anniversary celebration, knowing that he shares many of our humanitarian beliefs.” The reading in the famous luxury department store Harrods was held in the Children’s Reading Room where Harrods VIP clients, along with their children, were invited to listen to Kevin Spacey’s rendition of an extract from the famous novella.
The private VIP dinner, which followed the reading, was held at the restaurant Sketch in Mayfair, London, where guests were treated to a champagne reception, followed by a fourcourse dinner prepared by Michelinstarred chef, Pierre Gagnaire.
