The late comedian Robin Williams visits the Elgin (Parthenon) Marbles at the British Museum in London. In behind-the-scenes footage he entertains the crew as only he could. Enjoy Director Shawn Levy's commentary along with Actor Owen Wilson's on working with the academy-awarding winning actor and comedian in his last live action movie, Night at the Museum (3), Secret of the Tomb. The crown jewels of the museum, the Parthenon Marbles were removed from the Parthenon in 1804 by Lord Elgin and brought to England. At that time Greece was under Ottoman Turkish rule. However, the marbles, which constitute the sculptures surrounding and adorning the frieze, metopes and pediments of the Parthenon atop the acropolis in Athens, Greece are attributed to the greatest Greek sculpture Phidias. 2000 years later Michelangelo would comment on the talents of Greek sculptors, "They knew more than nature." Ever since Greece gained independence beginning in 1825, the marbles have been a bone of contention between Britain and Greece, who wishes the repatriation of the marbles back to Athens to be placed in the new Acropolis Museum. @Celebrategreece

Cynthia Daddona auditioned to be a roving goddess correspondent for the "Tonight Show" during the Athens Olympics. After having a nice conversation with Jay at one of his California public appearances, Cynthia personally handed this tape (yes, tape!) to Jay who graciously accepted it. When a follow-up was done to see if an American-Italian-Greek Goddess could be an Olympic, Tonight Show correspondent in Greece it was discovered that the "Tonight Show" is not on the air during the Olympics! Oh, well. It was fun making this video in Santorini and at the Acropolis. Watch how Cynthia, a seasoned on-camera personality, interviews tourists, including some who don't speak English, and even interviews a horse that answers her question! Enjoy. FYI, Cynthia was also a page at NBC for the Tonight Shows starring Johnny Carson in the late 1980's.

When one meets Jay in person you quickly discover he is a simple, regular guy with a special talent a putting an audience at ease and making you laugh.   James Stathis (Founder of CelebrateGreece.com) also met Jay Leno with Cynthia. When Jay asked him "What do you do for work?" Dr. Stathis told Jay that he was a dentist who also enjoyed documentary filmmaking. To which Jay, without hesitation, quipped back "Ask your mother...you are a dentist with a little camera!"

SYNOPSIS (Comedy, though it may not have been originally intended as such) High in the clouds, Jupiter encounters Mercury and summons up pedestals for all the Muses. He attempts to make the Muses themselves appear using his thunderbolts, but finds the bolts do not work. He sends them off to Hephaestus for repairs, and after some trial and error, manages to summon all nine Muses. The Muses all begin performing their various arts; Jupiter is initially pleased, but the cacophony soon overwhelms him, and he finally sends the Muses back to their pedestals. Mercury and Hephaestus return, making still more noise, and Jupiter banishes the whole company with his thunderbolts. However, this time the power backfires on him, and Jupiter makes a hasty retreat as the thunderbolts spin out of control. BACKGROUND Georges Méliès was a French illusionist, actor, and film director who led many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès was well known for the use of special effects, popularizing such techniques as substitution splices, multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color. He was also one of the first filmmakers to use storyboards. His films include A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Impossible Voyage (1904), both involving strange, surreal journeys somewhat in the style of Jules Verne, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films, though their approach is closer to fantasy.
