Blakeman, Nassau County’s top executive, used the moment to promote his ongoing campaign to establish Long Island as ‘Hollywood East’, citing the massive $533 million economic impact of Grumman and Gold Coast Studios in Bethpage. “Lots of Wolf of Wall Street was shot in Nassau County,” a source reminded.

Another insider noted the surprising detail that Blakeman arrived with five security personnel — more than DiCaprio himself.

Blakeman’s connections to showbiz aren’t new. One attendee quipped, “His first wife, Nancy Shevell, is now married to Paul McCartney — but at Rao’s, it was all Sinatra on the jukebox.”

The vibe remained friendly and relaxed, despite the VIP-packed guest list. DiCaprio, known for keeping a relatively low profile despite his A-list status, seemed at ease — laughing, taking selfies, and reconnecting with longtime collaborators in the film world.
