"Michael Jackson's Thriller" (Short Film / Music Video) Premiere

Bea Swedien, wife of studio engineer Bruce Swedien, “My Life as a Studio Wife: A Lifetime of Love and Music with Bruce Swedien” (August 11, 2025)

We were invited to the private premiere at a theater in West Hollywood. Eddie Murphy, Diana Ross, and Prince were there. The place was crawling with fans and the press. It was like a major motion picture premiere! Michael watched it from the projection booth. It received a standing ovation and they played it twice.
