It was a starry, starry night at last weekend's Los Angeles LGBT Center 45th Anniversary Vanguard Awards.

Celebs including Tab Hunter, Holland Taylor, Lisa Vanderpump, Florence Henderson, Bruce Vilanch, Jay Duplass, Wilson Cruz, Shane Bitney Crone, Elizabeth Henstridge, and more flocked to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza to celebrate George and Brad Takei for their contributions to the LGBT community, many of which are chronicled in George's new documentary, To Be Takei.

The event also honored Marvel Entertainment, which received the Corporate Vanguard Award, and Los Angeles County supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, who was given the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award.

Proceeds from the evening benefited the many programs of the Los Angeles LGBT Center, including advocacy, housing, and health services to LGBT people in Southern California and around the world. Below, take a look at some of the famous faces that have lent their limelight in support of this essential organization, photographed by Faye Sade. Learn more about the center at LALGBTCenter.org.
