As one of three honorees at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, Brett Ratner choked up as he spoke about Chrysalis, an organization that helps the homeless by restoring their self-sufficiency. Revealing that his father had been homeless, the director of such films as "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Rush Hour" said that out of embarrassment for his situation, his father kept his distance from the family.

"If Chrysalis existed for my dad, maybe we could have had a life together," Ratner said.

Dana Walden, chairman of 20th Century Fox TV; Rick Hess, head of Creative Artists Agency's Film Finance Group; and actress Rebecca Gayheart-Dane co-chaired the June 5 event, which took place at the private Brentwood estate of Susan Harris and Hayward Kaiser.

Other attendees included Jim Gianopulos, co-chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment; Donna Langley, co-chairman of Universal Pictures; and actors Eva Mendes, Christina Ricci, Ryan Phillippe, Ben Stiller and Ashley Greene.

Mila Kunis and Randy Jackson emceed; Phyllis Diller and Chris Tucker participated in ceremonies.
