Romy Reiner's first public speech since parents' deaths, presenting Jamie Lee Curtis honorary award

Not much more has to be said other than the fact that an award in my parents' name somehow got the Stonehenge treatment. I don't know, but there it is. Jamie is someone who believes in the good in people and will do everything in her power to make a situation right. She will move mountains not just because she can, but she feels that it is the right thing to do. Her love and generosity during this time have meant more to me than she'll ever know. Her and her husband, Chris, have shown up for me in ways that not many people have. And for that, I feel very special to be on the receiving end of their love. I love. I never had a connection as deep or knew them quite as well until now. I truly feel that there isn't a better person to receive this than Jamie. She is a beautiful soul inside and out, and I feel honored that she's accepting this award. So Jamie, we want to present to you This incredibly small award, and this abnormally heavy award. I love the name for this award that we've come up with, the Champion for Change. That's what our parents stood for. They were never satisfied with the status quo. They were always champions for change, to make the world a better place. Their work was never done, and they had so much more to give. Why are we here? We're here because It's the purpose of... Our privileged lives, my friends in this room, we live such privileged lives, and we all try to do our life's work and to try to help people. But Rob and Michelle, they lived it so fiercely, so loudly, so they were undeniable. The need is undeniable. I mean, it's unbelievable what these people did. It's unbelievable. And I am, you know, I'm just floored.
