BLYTHE DANNER AND CARLA GUGINO LUNCH

Image
Blythe Danner And Carla Gugino Carla Gugino and Blythe Danner had lunch at Urth Cafe today in West Hollywood, California. Based on their facial expressions, it appears that Blythe Danner was consoling Carla Gugino on troubling news. Carla Gugino wore a long black dress and held a pink scarf while Blythe Danner wore a light blue suit with a brown hat. As soon as Carla walked Blythe to the car, they gave each other a long deep hug. Carla seemed very emotional and as she walked away, she raised her fist as if saying she will have victory. For my readers that may not know, Blythe is the mother of Gwneth Paltrow. Photo By: OutOfSightMedia/ClickSnap/BuzzFoto
