Ahead of the screening the acclaimed filmmaker made the rounds on the red carpet with many of his friends and colleagues.
Perry, who at 16 had his first name legally changed from Emmitt to Tyler in an effort to distance himself from his father, showed off his fashion sense in dark slacks with a tinge of purple that was matched with a lavender shirt and a black leather jacket.

During that particular show, Perry heard someone describe the sometimes therapeutic effect the act of writing can have, so he did exactly that.
He soon started writing a series of letters to himself, which became the basis for his first successful play, I Know I’ve Been Changed (1993), which focused on issues such as child abuse and rape.
Winfrey, 69, could be found snuggling up next to Perry during a round of photos decked out in an all-white suit consisting of slacks, a blazer, and a blouse.

On more than one occasion, the longtime friends showed off their chemistry by breaking out into laughter, all while the photographers snapped away.
