I walk out the hotel door and don't know where I am. I've spent almost ten months in Toronto, one film festival at a time, and I know my way around. So where am I? The concierge says the district is "near the Entertainment District."
Not far away are some of the big Toronto legit houses. Turn a corner and I realize
I'm near both Queen and King, two great streets for walking. And towering over everything is the new Bell Lightbox, the new high-rise home of the Toronto Film Festival.
The Reitman family, which includes Ivan and Jason, kicked off the Lightbox with a cool $22 million. Toronto developer John Daniels, who essentially underwrote Tiff in its earliest years, built the Lightbox and was a supporter. Among the many other donors was the late Toronto film critic Brian Linehan, in for a million. Those Torontonians. My far-flung correspondent...

TORONTO -- Canadian celebrity interviewer Brian Linehan, whose long, complicated questions were spoofed by comic Martin Short in SCTV's Brock Linehan sketches, died at Friday of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. spokesman said. He was 58 years old. A native of Hamilton, Ontario, Linehan interviewed Hollywood and Canadian celebrities as part of City Lights, a show he hosted for 16 years on Toronto TV station City-tv until 1989. About 2,400 detailed interview research files belonging to Linehan, along with 631 books and more than 10,000 autographed celebrity pictures, were last year donated to the Toronto International Film Festival Group's film reference library. Among the accolades Linehan received was the 1999 Gemini award for best lifestyle series host and an ACTRA Award in 1980 for best television interviewer. Arrangements for a private funeral are being made, and a public memorial service is also planned.
