“I’m so excited to follow in the footsteps of such amazing young women,” Francesca Fisher-Eastwood told us at InStyle & HFPA’s Golden Globes Award Season Kick-Off Party where she was crowned Miss Golden Globe for the upcoming January 13, 2013 ceremony. “My whole family is proud of me. It’s an industry I grew up knowing, so it’s exciting to be at the best party celebrating that history!” The daughter of Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher found herself in good company during the bash at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood. Former Miss Golden Globes Gia Mantegna and Rainey Qualley were on hand to help kick off the Globes countdown, alongside Lea Michele, Malin Akerman, Diane Kruger who joined sponsors World Gold Council and Vitamin Water in toasting the town’s hardest-working television and film stars. “Cinema is a universal language, so I always come out to support the Golden Globes,” Kruger told InStyle.com.
