Placido Domingo gets moving letter

Barbara Walters had planned to emcee tomorrow’s El Museo gala, where her friend Placido Domingo will receive a lifetime achievement award. But Walters had heart surgery last week and had to cancel. So their mutual friend, Oscar de la Renta, has stepped in to read a very moving letter from Barbara to Placido. A source who saw her note said, “It’s classic Barbara Walters — it will be the one moment in the evening when people will put aside partying and weep. No one can make you cry like Barbara Walters.” Expected guests include Narcisco Rodriguez, Dick and Laura Parsons, Fe Fendi, Glenda Bailey and event chair Yaz Hernandez.
