Chris Serico of the LoHud.com Suburbarazzi blog, which tracks celebrity life in the Lower Hudson Valley, takes note of the Y’s tribute to Robert Altman scheduled for September 23:

Pound Ridge resident Tim Robbins will join fellow actor Bob Balaban on Sept. 23 at the 92nd Street Y for a discussion about the late Academy-Award winning director, Robert Altman.

Altman directed Robbins in 1992’s “The Player,” 1993’s “Short Cuts” and 1994’s “Prêt-à-Porter,” so the actor should have quite a few stories to tell about Altman, who died in November due to cancer complications.

The 7:30 p.m. event, which includes film clips, will be moderated by entertainment journalist and historian Eddy Friedfeld.

Has the 92nd Street Y usurped Nobu as the place for A-listers to be seen? Check out some of the other celebrities booked for the weeks ahead, according to The Apiary: Michael Palin, Larry David, Stephen Colbert and Steve Martin.

Robert Altman talked at Makor last fall with Garrison Keillor and we published a 19-minute audio clip from the evening soon after. Keillor returns to the Y in April 2008 for the Afternoon Night Table literary series.
