..and in NYC..

South Scranton native Marty Holleran walked the red carpet at a movie premiere with a host of celebrities this past Tuesday.

He was at the world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with his family, John and Aileen Crowley and their children, John, Patrick and Megan. They joined stars like Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, Calista Flockhart, Jessica Simpson, Keri Russell, Sumner Redstone, Kayla Ewell and Ayanna Berkshire to watch "Extraordinary Measures," a film about the Crowleys' battle to find a cure for a disease that threatened the lives of two of their children.

The family was among a crowd of 500 who attended the premiere at the famous theater this week.

"It was a home run," Mr. Holleran told The Times-Tribune from Los Angeles. "It's the first premiere I've ever been at and it was very well done."

Mr. Holleran first told The Times-Tribune in December about the movie and his family's uplifting story.

"Listen," Mr. Holleran said of the premiere event, "there were so many celebrities and I really don't know one star from the other, but it was still great. I'm amazed the movie was able to accurately depict our lives and our struggles together in a one-hour-and-30-minute film."

Despite the family's magical Hollywood night, Mr. Holleran said he was looking forward to getting back home.

"The premiere and all of the interviews were fun," Mr. Holleran said. "But, you can't change a kid from Scranton."
