punching Sheriff James Clark as he poked her in the back of her neck with a club.

She was charged with assault and attempted murder, and pacifist Martin Luther King talked about the incident in his famous Brown Chapel speech.

“Mrs. Cooper was down in that line,” he said. “As you know, we teach a philosophy of not retaliating and not hitting back, but the truth of the situation is that Mrs. Cooper, if she did anything, was provoked by Sheriff Clark.”

The movie also stars David Oyelowo – who co-starred with Oprah in The Butler – as Martin Luther King Jr., Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King, British actor Tom Wilkinson as President Lyndon Johnson, Tim Roth as George Wallace, Cuba Gooding Jr. as Fred Gray and Stan Houston as Sheriff Clark.

Oprah says that recently deceased civil rights protester and writer Maya Angelou was delighted she’s making the film.

Speaking to the TV show Entertainment Tonight, Oprah recount-ed: “She was so proud that I was doing this movie. And she said, ‘Take

it baby. Take it all the way. Take it all the way.’”

The Search is onA number of Montecito denizens

are winging their way to New York to be at Christie’s auction house in Rockefeller Center for the sale of property belonging to the late reclu-sive copper heiress, Huguette Clark, on Wednesday, June 18.

Texan billionaire Harold Simmons’ widow, Annette; Susan McCaw, wife of cellular phone billionaire, Craig; Sandi Nicholson, wife of for-mer Amway head honcho, Bill; and lawyer Robert Lieff and his wife, Gretchen, are among them.

It is hoped the monies raised from the sale of artworks, Gilded Age fur-nishings and rare books, will help toward funding the Bellosguardo Foundation, which will run Clark’s former Santa Barbara oceanfront estate as a museum and art gallery.

Mayor Helene Schneider, who has been charged with finding seven suit-able candidates from the area to be part of a 10-member committee, tells me she has yet to finalize her selec-tion, although Law & Order producer Dick Wolf, venture capitalist Frank Caufield, and Susan McCaw, former U.S. ambassador to Austria, are names being considered, according to my mole with the martini.

And there is the not-so-small matter of $18 million in penalty fees out-standing to the IRS, which it is hoped will be waived...

Celesta Billeci, Miller McCune execu-tive director of UCSB Arts & Lectures, announced its 54th season.

So far the five-year endowment campaign, with a target of $20 mil-lion, has raised a healthy $14 million, nearly 70 percent of the target.

The new program features 62 events, with highlights featuring The Joffrey Ballet, 17-time Grammy-winning croon-er Tony Bennett, violinist Anne-Sophie

Mutter, Herbie Hancock, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Joshua Bell, and basket-ball legend Magic Johnson.

Included are 25 Santa Barbara debuts and the world premieres of seven new pieces.

“It’s a season of mindboggling diversity,” says Celesta. “It showcases A-list artists and speakers from the widest spectrum of arts and ideas.

“We’re also bringing back the

Marquee series featuring King Lear, top Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald, the iconic taiko drummers Kodo and celebrated chef Ina Garten, aka the Barefoot Contessa.”

Among the 180 guests hear-ing about the exciting new season were chancellor Henry Yang and his wife, Dilling, Leslie Ridley-Tree, Hiroko Benko, Mary Ellen Tiffany, mayor Helene Schneider, Robert and Gretchen Lieff, Christopher Pilafian, Natalie Orfalea, Larry and Nancy Koppelman, Jonathan Fox, Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin, Robert Weinman, and Dan and Meg Burnham...
