January 13, London England
Stephen Fry and Justine Waddell attends a gala evening celebrating Old Russian New Year's Eve in aid of the Gift of Life Foundation at The Savoy Hotel.
To the Savoy Hotel, where the Old Russian New Year was rung in with a party thrown by the Gift of Life Foundation. Guests bid for auction lots while traditional Russian dancers caused mischief, before a newly engaged Stephen Fry arrived to wish guests "S novym godom" -- or Happy New Year. For actress and committee member Justine Waddell, pictured with Fry, she was returning a favour.
"I went to Russian in 2007 to play the lead in a feature film called Target," she recalls, "for which I learnt the language fluently. It was a great and unexpected gift, so it's nice now to give something back."
Waddell's pronunciation must be better than Nicole Kidman's, who has long been mocked for her attempt to speak Russian in the film Birthday Girl, which was so inaccurate that she had to be dubbed.

Patron of Gift of Life, actress Justine Waddell added: "I am honored to have been asked to be a Patron of Gift of Life. The children Gift of Life help and the difference the charity makes in each child's fight against cancer is inspirational. I greatly admire Chulpan Khamatova, Dina Korzun and the Gift of Life team - it is a pleasure to support the charity in any way I can."
