FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD FORGOTTEN HISTORY
Friday September 3, 2010 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM

Actress, dancer, choreographer, and director Miriam Nelson's life reads like a 1930's musical. In her twenties, she appeared in six Broadway shows. On the day she moved to Hollywood, Miriam ran into a New York friend, Paramount president Buddy de Sylva, who hired her on the spot for Lady in the Dark starring Ginger Rogers. Miriam has been dancing with the stars ever since, including Julie Andrews, Ingrid Bergman, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, John Travolta and Billy Bob Thornton. Miriam was there for the opening day at Disneyland - Walt Disney hired her to choreograph dance numbers around the Park, including the famous Golden Horseshoe Revue. Miriam's career spans both the famous and infamous eras of stage, screen, and television.

EDGAR KENNEDY: MASTER OF THE SLOW BURN
TBA

I Can't Wait To Be Forgotten pays tribute to Kay Francis's compassionate nature, her concern for others, her great contributions on behalf of those serving in the armed forces during World War II, and the financial legacy she contributed to The Seeing Eye. Many rare, unpublished photos from Kay's youth and retirement years are featured in her biography. Interviews from co-workers, friends and children of her "ex's" complete the picture of one of Hollywood's most glamorous and intriguing stars.

Virginia Bruce is not as well known today as some of her contemporaries such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford but she deserves to be rediscovered. A cool blond beauty from Fargo North Dakota, Bruce more or less stumbled into the movie business. The book follows Virginia's career in film, radio and television. In addition to being a natural actress, Bruce proved to be fine vocalist and sang in several of her films, introducing Cole Porter's sultry love song "I've Got You Under My Skin" in Born to Dance (1936.) As James Robert Parish writes in the introduction, "...Bruce's off-screen life was far more exciting and exotic than any role she experienced on camera..." and O'Brien explains why that statement is true.

Saturday September 4, 2010 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM

Known as much today for its theme park, Universal City is also the largest and the longest continuously operating movie studio in “Hollywood.” Since its official opening on March 15, 1915, Universal City has served as a training ground for great directors such as John Ford, William Wyler, and James Whale and as home to stars like Hoot Gibson, Deanna Durbin, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr. and Jr., and Tom Mix. This evocative volume explores the studio that brought The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Dracula (1930), Frankenstein (1931), and 100 Men and a Girl (1937) to the screen.
