Posted: 2009-11-06

In celebration of the launch of its newest, largest and most family-friendly "Fun Ship" ever, Carnival Cruise Lines announces that Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden serves as godmother of the new Carnival Dream and will unveil the world’s largest children's book in New York City, along with a major, multi-year partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Earlier today, she promoted the cause on both the Today Show and My FOX New York.


New Yorker and mother of three, Harden will officially name the new ship when it makes its North American debut in New York on November 12, 2009. In honor of Carnival Dream’s much-anticipated arrival, the Tony Award-winning actress will unveil Carnival’s Big Book of Dreams - measuring 15.5 feet high by 20 feet wide - in New York City’s Rockefeller Center today and will conduct a special reading of the larger-than-life story to dozens of schoolchildren. Inspired by the imaginative dreams of children who sailed on Carnival Cruise Lines this spring, "The Dream Plucker of Perrysport" tells the tale of a group of young friends who find themselves on a unique adventure after they encounter a furry orange monster in a quest to remember their dreams. The book will remain on display at Rockefeller Center November 6 and 7 as part of a series of free, activity-filled Carnival "Dream Big" events for the whole family. "As a mother and actress driven by the idea of dreaming big, I’m honored to take on this new role as godmother of Carnival’s largest-ever ship and to help bring the Big Book of Dreams to life for local children," said Marcia Gay Harden. "I’m also inspired by Carnival’s dedication to support and encourage all kids to dream big through its partnership with St. Jude."

Jackson also attended the event to show their support of the arts and their peers. Additionaly, Entertainment Tonight has an interview with Marcia.
