They all came back to take the stage they knew so well.

Almost every star in the house – and there were many – at the 10th annual Bronx Ball at the Loew’s Paradise Theatre, had a story to tell of sitting in the fabled movie house’s balcony with their favorite girl.

When it was doo-wop pioneer Dion DiMucci’s turn to be inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame, he told the crowd of a girl named Susan and the seats they sat in, P1 and P3.

“I was trying to get close to her any way I could,” he said.

He succeeded.

When he finished his moving walk down memory lane, he took his chair and pushed it close to Susan, his wife of 44 years and muse for mega-hit “Runaround Sue.”

The chatter in the audience was that people wanted Dion to sing, but he chose to perform in a different kind of way – telling his riveting Bronx story, cataloguing the influences on his life from the Jimmy Reed and Howling Wolf albums he picked up at Cousin’s Record Store on Fordham Road, to the Jewish music he heard wafting out of a synagogue on Pelham Parkway and the rabbi who ushered him inside to study it further. He’d struck paydirt – “Jewish Fusion Rock ‘n Roll!” he said of the influence.

Then there was Rita Moreno, a 1998 inductee, who said she knew she had arrived when she starred in the “Night of the Following Day” in 1968 and the marquee over the very same Paradise Theatre said “Our Very Own Rita Moreno — with Marlon Brando.”

The next afternoon Moreno, 76, but acting and looking more like 46, was salsa dancing on a float with Sopranos’ star Dominic Chianese (2005 inductee) at the Bronx Week Parade on Mosholu Parkway.

Comedian and DeWitt Clinton alumnus Robert Klein (1997 inductee) joked that there was more DNA in the balcony than in “CSI Miami.” Then he said that he had to go to return a girdle with his mother across the street at Alexander’s.

The night also saw the induction of “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Doris Roberts, Bachata stars Aventura, Improv club founder Budd Friedman, and singer Luther Vandross, whose posthumous award was accepted by his mother, Mary Ida.

Actor Danny Aiello also made a return visit.

The Paradise Theatre itself was a focus of the evening as it was the first time many of the hundreds of attendees had been there in decades. The venue has gone through several owners and managers in recent years, but Bronx Week began with an announcement that 2002 Walk of Fame inductee and “Raging Bull” actress Cathy Moriarty, had taken over the theatre and renamed it the Utopia Paradise Theatre.

The event and the parade the next day capped a week of activities all over the borough, from Bronx history tours, to health walks, to facials and manicures for women to raise awareness of domestic violence.

Bronx Week is organized by Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion’s office and the Bronx Tourism Council.
