Ross Memorial: More than 500 of Hollywood’s top executives, stars and friends of the late Time Warner chairman Steven J. Ross gathered Tuesday on a Warner Bros. soundstage to pay tribute to Ross, who died in December after a yearlong battle with cancer. David Wolper, a high school classmate, co-produced an affectionate film that included photos from Ross’ childhood. Among the dozen speakers: Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty, Chevy Chase, Whoopi Goldberg and Clint Eastwood. Record producer Quincy Jones told the crowd: “This is the third memorial for Steve Ross, and there’s a reason for that: When you get hold of a good human being, it’s really hard to let him go.”
