Celebrities & Politicians

A random walk through the worlds of celebrities and politics. All images in this gallery depict speakers invited to address the Commonwealth Club of California.

With more than 100 years of non-partisan public service, the Club is America's oldest and largest public affairs forum. Go to www.commonwealthclub.org to see listings of upcoming events and speakers, and recordings of past events.

All events in the S.F. Bay Area are open to the public. And anyone can become a Club member to enjoy hundreds of free events, the Commonwealth magazine, and advance notice and priority seating for blockbuster events, among other great member benefits.

Best of all, you personally will meet and hear the people who are making the news, making sense of our world, and building the future. Bring your camera.

This is an amazing set of pictures. Scanning thru them, I was thinking "who does this guy know that he gets access to this spectrum of leaders and entertainers?" and then I read your Commonwealth description. Great shots, nicely executed. Thanks.
