Under the stars of Marbella’s historic Nagueles quarry, local favourite and superstar Antonio Banderas celebrated his 66th birthday with more than cake and candles. The Hollywood star returned as host to the 17th Starlite Occident Gala, where peace signs, flowers and a 1970s hippy theme set the scene for an evening all about generosity, music and a quiet plea for humanity in troubled times. In a spontaneous gesture that lifted the night’s fundraising total, Banderas handed over the very shirt he was wearing—painted by his own hand for the charity auction.
