The star-studded cast winged to Turkey to premiere the picture for our troops stationed at a giant airbase there. They followed with a stop in London for press, then on to Rome and N.Y. After that, George Clooney headed to Canada to direct ``Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,'' in which his ``Elevens'' costar Julia Roberts will cameo.
The ``Ocean's'' cast performed magnificently for the troops, Jerry reports. They arrived at the Incirlik base at 3 a.m. and ``went to work at 7 -- handshaking, everyone, visiting schools and hospitals on the base. They were incredible. They told the troops, 'Don't thank us; we thank you.' Nobody complained about anything -- they worked in the pouring rain. At the autograph session, they didn't quit until everyone received one.''
In London they appeared before a packed press group at the Dorchester, and in Rome ditto at the Grand where Monday morning Jerry received a fax of Monday's Daily Variety front page with the headline ``Rat Pack Blackjack,'' noting the picture's record-breaking three-day opening.
