"HOLLYWOOD 1940 - 2008" Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Marc Wanamaker presents a photographic history of Hollywood with lecture and book signing in conjunction with his book HOLLYWOOD 1940 – 2008. Photographic illustrations include parks and recreations, hotels and motels, residences, film studios, business community, restaurants and nightclubs, radio and television, theater and Hollywood redevelopment.
Hollywood transformed after the great depression with the help of...
...the motion picture and radio industries. People were streaming to Los Angeles from around the world looking for work in the entertainment industries, thus fueling development. Housing, entertainment and business services thrived, changing the physical landscape and creating new landmarks.
Marc Wanamaker is a world class expert and consultant in film history who has worked in many facets of film production, exhibition and research for several decades. He is a published author, historian, lecturer and teacher as well as founder of Bison Archives.
