Local Rhode Islander and friend of Big Sisters of Rhode Island, Lisa Finn, generously donated the costumes and vintage clothing from the film Evening.
In 2007 the film Evening, which was directed by Lajos Koltai, and starred Claire Danes, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, and many other well-known actors and actresses, was filmed in Tiverton and Newport Rhode Island. The film was shot at the homes of two families. One of those families was the Finn family.
Often, once filming wraps-up, the production crew allows the homeowners to obtain the costumes that had been worn in the film and to donate them to a charity of their choice. As a friend of the agency, Lisa Finn contacted Big Sisters of Rhode Island and kindly donated costumes that had been worn by Claire Danes, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, and other actors and actresses. Lisa Finn also donated vintage clothing in the costumers’ wardrobe that had been left behind after the production crew left.
Big Sisters of Rhode Island would like to thank Lisa Finn for her generous donations and support.
