time. The newscaster said, "And that's Michelle Kwan...one of Disneyland's
special guests." Check out the following 9 pictures of Michelle

Remember
The Titans on September 23, 2000
On
Saturday, September 23, 2000, Michelle attended the premiere of
the movie Remember The Titans at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena,
California. It was the first Hollywood-style film premiere ever
held at the world renowned stadium. The film was shown on four giant
screens (65' by 100') on the field at the Rose Bowl. Each screen
was custom-made especially for this event. As it began to get dark,
Air Force jets flew above the stadium, and four parachuters jumped
out of a helicopter and came down onto the field. A live band entertained
the arriving guests as games were projected on the Jumbotron. Master
of Ceremonies for the evening was former Green Bay Packers player,
Jim Hill. Fireworks ended the evening. Stars from the movie Denzel
Washington, Will Patton, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer attended
the premiere, along with sports stars Mike Singletary, Jack Hamm,
and, of course, Michelle. Joining the celebrities were several original
members, and the two coaches, of the 1971 high school football team
that the movie is based on. Also attending were 50,000 high school
football players, cheerleaders, parents, coaches, athletic directors,
and principals from all over southern California. Disney's reasoning
for inviting thousands of high school students was that they thought
the movie was special, and they wanted high school students to preview
it. One student said, "the whole night was everything and more
than I expected!" Check out the following pictures of Michelle
at the premiere: on the
red carpet, smiling
on the red carpet, closeup,
laughing,
posing
on the red carpet, and standing
on the red carpet. For more information, read the press
release. Pictures of Michelle at the premiere were in People
magazine. The movie arrived in theaters nationwide on September
29, 2000.

flight deck. A 2,000-seat outdoor theater was constructed that featured
a 125-foot-wide screen. Faith Hill sung the national anthem just
before the movie was shown. Along with the many celebrities, survivors
from Pearl Harbor attended the premiere. Michelle was quoted as
saying at the post-premiere party, "What really moved me to
tears was when the survivors came out on stage for the fireworks.
Everything seemed almost perfect." In an online clip from the
premiere, she said, "Yeah, I think it is going to be a very emotional
event, you know, it'd be great to see everybody coming together
again." Check out the following pictures from the premiere:On

told People magazine, in the online article, "Celebs Pitch
