Royal Pains Star Mark Feuerstein Shares His Hamptons Love List
KDHamptons correspondent [and founder of www.CelebrityEverything.com] Lisa Chase chats with Royal Pains star Mark Feuerstein at Super Saturday, July 26th, 2014 in this New Lifestyle Diary. For the 18th anniversary of New York’s Super Saturday ‘designer garage sale’ event in the Hamptons, the weather couldn’t have been better. As the rays of sunshine sparkled on spectacular clothing, bags, shoes, and accessories donated by coveted designers, the glitterati were strutting the grass carpet once again to show their support for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Other celebs headed toward the myriad of tents heaping with potential bargains included: Molly Sims, Rachel Zoe, Joy Behar, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin [above], Shoshanna, Rebecca Minkoff, and more. Thanks to the designers, shoppers and volunteers, the annual fundraiser generated an impressive $3.4 million, which will all go toward funding research for ovarian cancer detection and treatment.
KDHamptons: Mark, what’s an ideal date for you and your wife?
Mark Feuerstein: A perfect date night for me and my wife is putting the kids to bed early, and go to a movie at the Arclight Cinemas in LA, and then to Sugarfish, which is probably the best sushi in the country, and then go home and cuddle on the couch – and watch something else -and have time together to catch up.
KDHamptons: Why does marriage get better after kids?
Mark Feuerstein: Who said that (laughs)? It gets better because you put your love into the creation of a human being who you get to watch grow. And on some level they are a reflection of you and on another level, they are who they are. We have a 9-year-old, a 7-year-old and a 5-year-old and I can’t believe we get to watch our love grow with these incredible human beings.
KDHamptons: What’s your favorite activity to do in the Hamptons?
Mark Feuerstein: I like to be with my kids on the beach – it’s the best.
KDHamptons: Can you tell me about your role on “Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant”?
Mark Feuerstein: I play a renegade male flight attendant – a lothario of the skies – who saves lives by landing a plane on the 405 [Freeway]. It’s got Henry Winkler, Molly Shannon, Marcia Gay Harden, Taye Diggs, Jayma Mays, Rebecca Romijn and more – it’s an amazing cast and great movie. Check it out – it’s on iTunes.
KDHamptons: Has that changed your perspective on the role of flight attendants?
Mark Feuerstein: Yes, the job of being a flight attendant is very challenging – lots of tough customers.
KDHamptons: What are your favorite restaurants in the Hamptons?
Mark Feuerstein: Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton – I like to go there and get ice cream with my kids and Scoop du Jour in East Hampton to get ice cream with my kids – I’m all about the ice cream. But for dinner, Nick and Toni’s in East Hampton.
KDHamptons: Are you a shopper or a watcher here at Super Saturday?
Mark Feuerstein: I generally stay with my family, but every once in a while I run in and get a nice shirt. My best deal ever here was a Ralph Lauren T-shirt that I got for $10.
