Richard Gere, 1999

This was a great year for Richard Gere. He became the first two-time winner and had his handprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The "Pretty Woman" actor also starred alongside Julia Roberts again in "Runaway Bride." His charity work and meeting with the Dalai Lama were other highlights that year. A major supporter of AIDS awareness and global peace initiatives, Gere also created the Gere Foundation India Trust in 1999 to establish humanitarian programs in India.
