Bomer, who can currently be seen in the Amazon Studios series The Last Tycoon, won a Golden Globe for his work in HBO's adaptation of Larry Kramer's AIDS play The Normal Heart. Halls is a founder and partner of Hollywood publicity agency Slate PR. His client list includes Ryan Murphy, Tom Ford, Ang Lee and Ridley Scott, among many others.

The Normal Jean Gala is named after Marilyn Monroe, whose real name was Norma Jean Baker. She was a client of Uplift Serves at Hollygrove when she was a child.
