"Channing Tatum, Daniel Day-Lewis, Kate Mara, and Others Reveal Their Greatest Treasures\nDaniel Day-Lewis, Kate Mara, David Rockwell, Channing Tatum, Sir Elton John, and others reveal their greatest treasures\nOne might assume that Daniel Day-Lewis, whose father, Cecil Day-Lewis, was the poet laureate of England and who is married to Arthur Miller's daughter, Rebecca, might have inherited a trove of literary heirlooms. But the actor, who notched another Oscar for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln, claimed not to be acquisitive\u2014except as regards the books he uses to prepare for his roles. \"I am not a collector in the general sense; I don't really like the feeling of collecting things,\" he answered. \"But I have collections of research books that I have needed over the years,\" he explained. \"I never wish to get rid of them. It's unlikely I'll read many of them ever again, but they are a kind of talisman, I suppose.\"\nWrapped in a black coat with fluffy rings of flounce, actress Patricia Arquette looked like she'd stepped off the set of Anna Karenina as she arrived at the Art of Elysium Heaven gala in downtown Los Angeles. \"I've gone through a lot of different collections,\" said Arquette. \"Napoleonic miniatures, jail art. But I really like miniature portraits\u2014the tiny Victorian eye portraits of your lover. Just the eye. Pretty sexy, right?\"\nAttending the Producers Guild of America Awards at the Beverly Hilton, Weinstein company cofounder Harvey Weinstein, seen here with his wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, was all smiles. \"I love photographs. And I love [Alfred] Eisenstaedt photographs in particular. They're cinema, but still.\"\n\nWeinstein and Chapman at the Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit: A Tribute to Quentin Tarantino\nSome treasures, though not necessarily valuable, remind one of a special moment in life. Actress Julia Stiles, also at the Producers Guild of America Awards, told AD that she prizes a sketch by French fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon. \"We did a photo shoot in Venice a long time ago,\" she said. \"And he did a sketch on this tablecloth and I framed it.\"\nAs usual, David O. Russell, the director of Silver Linings Playbook, was wearing a snappy suit and sneakers on his way into the Australian Academy Cinema Television Arts (AACTA) International Awards. \"A T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings table,\" he said, speaking of the Brit-born architect and midcentury-modern furniture designer who lived until 1976. \"It's the only fancy piece of furniture that I own, but it's a very beautiful table. I tried to bleach one panel lighter. And then I figured out that that didn't work so well, so I had it restored back to the original.\"\nAt the Cinema Society premiere of Side Effects in New York, AD spoke with actor Michael Douglas, there to support his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays a psychiatrist in the film. \"Treasure? I have an old collection of original Fillmore West [the famed San Francisco rock venue] signed posters from the '60s,\" he explained.\n\nClick here to tour their Bermuda home, as seen in the July 2002 issue of AD\nAfter throwing back a shot during the Side Effects after party, actor Channing Tatum revealed, \"I love anything that's been refurbished or restored. When you use your imagination, dream, and take something vintage\u2014or an antique\u2014and make it into something new.\"\nActress Kate Mara, at the Side Effects premiere to support her sister, Rooney Mara, the film's star, said that she had recently bought an antique mannequin. \"She's a little girl mannequin, maybe from the 1920s, and she's got no head,\" she said. \"It's on this amazing metal stand. I have it in the living room, and it looks as if it is haunted.\"\n\"My favorite collection I have is always the next one,\" answered the ever-quotable designer Karl Lagerfeld, seen here with supermodel Linda Evangelista, at the Museum of Modern Art for a Chanel tribute to Spanish film director Pedro Almod\u00F3var.\nComedy collectibles naturally appeal to produces and director Judd Apatow (This Is 40). At the premiere of HBO's Girls, Apatow, who produced the series, mentioned that he has amassed an important collection of signed memorabilia. \"I have a lot of autographs of the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin,\" he said. \"I bought some letters that W. C. Fields wrote that are hilarious. I really like letters from comedians of the '30s.\"\n\nApatow at MusiCares' Person of The Year event\nIt's one thing to own a photograph by Irving Penn, and quite another if you're also in it. During cocktails at the Beverly Hilton Hotel before the Costume Designers Guild Awards in Los Angeles, supermodel and actress Amber Valletta noted that she treasures a portrait Penn made of her. \"He shot me a few times for American Vogue, and after a big exhibit of his work, he gave me one,\" she said. \"It's a nude.\"\n\nValletta at the 5th annual Rock the Kasbah event\nOn the red carpet at the SAG Awards, Homeland's Morena Baccarin mentioned that it isn't what she's collected in her house, but the house itself that is a gem. \"It was built in 1935 by the architect Winston Risley,\" she said. \"It's architecturally perfect\u2014the way the sun hits it, and the shapes of the rooms.\"\n\nBaccarin at the Elle Women in Television celebration\nApparently, not all Rothkos hang in museums or the homes of finance titans. Twilight star Julia Jones\u2014shape-shifting wolf Leah Clearwater in the saga\u2014managed to acquire one at an astonishingly young age. \"I have a numbered print,\" she revealed during a Chris Benz fashion presentation. \"It was in my house growing up, and my mom gave it to me. When I went to get it framed, the guy asked, \u2018Where did you find this?'\"\n\nJones at the premiere of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II\nDuring a breezy tented lunch on the beach in Santa Monica for the Film Independent Spirit Awards, Kelly Lynch mentioned her Russel Wright Iroquois dishes, which Andy Warhol also collected. \"I also have a signed Richard Neutra dining room table and ten chairs, which are impossible to find these days.\"\nIn her spare time, Lena Dunham, who created and stars in HBO's Girls, collects hotel pens. \"I feel they make me look well traveled,\" she says. \"And there is an old-Hollywood glamour to hotel pens. My Chateau Marmont pens are pretty neat. And I was staying at a hotel in Berlin that was unacceptable to me, so I went over to the Hotel Adlon to get their pen.\"\nDuring a Women in Film (WIF) pre-Oscar f\u00EAte honoring Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress's mother, Blythe Danner, a treasure herself, was wearing silver earrings hand-hammered by Georg Jensen. \"My husband had bought me several wonderful pieces from 1912 and '14,\" she said. \"And I cherish those. One day I would like to have one of his candlesticks with the grape pattern.\" Holiday gift suggestion: Gwyneth, Jake?\n\nDanner and Paltrow at Baby Buggy's Summer Benefit\nArchitect, designer, and founder of the Rockwell Group, David Rockwell, favors his collection of kaleidoscopes. \"I have one from the '20s that has opals in it, and oil,\" he told AD at a Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) Dining by Design event in Manhattan. \"And when I get really depressed, I just watch those opals spin around in the oil.\"\nFilm director Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt, The Descendants) explained during the Directors Guild Awards that he scours eBay for postcards from Omaha and 16-millimeter films. \"I have home movies, educational films, feature films, animated shorts,\" he said. \"There are a lot of orphan films out there, and I love watching them on film. I don't have a 35-mm projector at my house, only 16-mm.\"\n\nPayne at the Ace Eddie Awards\nAt Sting's Rainforest Foundation benefit concert, Sir Elton John, wearing raspberry metallic shoes by Patrick Cox, explained: \"I've been an avid collector for years, but I sold everything in the late '80s, and so I've been collecting completely different things, like photography. That's now my favorite thing that we collect.\"\n\nTo see Elton John's home, which appeared on the cover of AD's March issue, click here.\nAt the Plaza Hotel to receive an award from Turnaround for Children, a foundation that strives to improve the conditions in public schools, iconic blond Goldie Hawn, declined to respond. \"You know what? I'm not going to answer that question,\" she demurred. \"Treasures can be stolen. . . . \""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
