Hearing Miller’s message was a glittering crowd at the penthouse at Milk Studios last night that included Cass Bird, Justin Theroux, and Lauren Santo Domingo. After cocktails and mingling, Miller made an impassioned speech and implored guests to get involved however they can. “[Working with International Medical Corps] was an extraordinary introduction to the world I had been living in and not payed attention to.” Next up on Miller’s global relief efforts? A potential trip to Iraq this fall.
