Over 500 people showed up last Saturday night at the Irvine Nature Center to eat, drink and gawk at โ€œModern Familyโ€ star Julie Bowen, and to raise money for a good cause. Truth be told, many in attendance were family and friends of the Emmy-winning actress. She played the part of auctioneer that night, cajoling bidders to pay upward of $20,000 for a lunch date with her and raising a record amount for the night.

Which โ€œModern Familyโ€ episode is your favorite?

โ€œStrangers on a Treadmill,โ€ when I have to tell Cam he looked bad in the bikers shorts, and โ€œRegrets Onlyโ€ (when she and Phil fight and he doesnโ€™t know why and she is upset about the wedge salad).

How did you pick the dress you wore to the Emmys? You looked great.

I never do this but I took pictures and showed them to the girls on the show. There was a Carolina Herrera that was beautifu,l but Sophia thought it was too conservative so I picked the Oscar de la Renta.
