...crowd, which included Victoria Hopper, wife of Dennis Hopper and head of Women for Obama in California, producer Paula Weinstein, actress Tracee Ellis Ross of the CW show Girlfriends (and daughter of Diana Ross), actress Journee Smollett of The Great Debaters and Vicki Kennedy - wife of Max Kennedy, one of Bobby Kennedy's sons - murmured their assent.
