The Tiffany is closed, yet it is still standing and still named Tiffany.
Is this theatre still open? If so, what name does it now have? I think this entry needs to be updated, based on the comments.
“Vice Squad” was also filmed in front of the Tiffany.

You can see a bit of the Tiffany and the Rocky Horror marquee in Valley Girl. It’s when Nicolas Cage takes Deborah (don’t remember her last name) into Hollywood for the first time. It’s part of a montage.
How about this double bill in Feb. 1980 – George Romero’s “Martin” and the uncut version of Tod Browning’s “Freaks”. The Zep film “Song Remains the Same” followed the week after.
The Tiffany had a Ronald Reagan film festival in September 1980, a couple of months before the election.

Meryl,
I remember you.
THANK YOU for the clip— brought back lots of memories.
I was manager at the Tiffany 1978 – 1980.
Now my two teenagers go to see it at the Nuart, L.A.
It was my first job after moving here from NY.
Also, my first friends in Los Angeles. And they still are:
hi David, Meredith, Terri, Michael!
and Jim and Queen George, in Heaven.
December 1980.
really? what year?
I lost my virginity in the alcove next to the screen during a performance of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Tiffany.
Meryl, North Carolina is beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many trees in my entire life. Two days ago it snowed, and Elizabeth and Naomi went outside to play in it. When they came back in, they both called for me to come to the kitchen. I got pelted with snowballs.
David, how is NC? Michael & I still sing your “Christmas Quarrels!"
Meredith, come visit L.A!
Boy, this is becoming a reunion! Meredith, how are you? I’ve still got a picture of you changing the marquee at the Vagabond.
Hiya, Meryl!
Remember the “Christmas Quarrels” George, Michael and I sang before Rocky Horror? Those were the days…
Whatever happened to Elvira?
I remember seeing a doubleheader of two Howard Huges classics that hadn’t been show in years (like forever I thought at the time): SCARFACE & HELL’S ANGELS). PRISTINE PRINTS!
I attended other double features at the Tiffany, but preferred seeing movies at the Nuart, FOX Venice, and Vagabond. I was more of a 60’s hard rocker in the late 70’s & early 80’s, so dealing with the gliiter crowd that seemed to attend the Tiffany on a regular basis was a tad much for me (especially when I attended a midnight screening of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW). Everyone there seemed to have a good time though.
Meredith, How great to hear from you—it’s been LITTLE WHILE!
Isn’t this site fun?
My email address is on my profile, let’s be pen-pals!
I’m still friends with David!
I’m been in California the whole time since the Tif,
but I’m a New Yorker, and I’d love to hear what & who & where!
Love,
Meryl
Yes, it was definitely a party, working the midnight and 2AM Rocky Horror screenings, and going to breakfast at Cantor’s after…
Meryl! OMG, I worked with you at the Tiff (and with Mary at the Vag) – I just joined this site tonight and was about to write about this theater when I just saw your postings! I’m Meredith, (friend of Danny’s still too) and in NYC! Remember me (and David)?
Hehe, I saw Rocky Horror in June 1982 for my b-day! Imagine a bunch of pre-teens standing on Sunset at midnight, throwing dry rice at passing by cars, lol.
Were you at Rocky Horror when I was there ‘78-80?
What a party!
I attended the Tiffany regulary for ROCLY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, and other features,got some good memories there,, sitting in the 3rd row CENTER, for A STAR IS BORN 76, it was right in my face, and the sound was wonderful. The Tiffany was my fav place away from Hollywood Blvd.
Sinclair: When Edd Byrnes (Kookie) of the TV show 77 Sunset Strip came to the Tiffany in the late ‘70s I asked him about shooting the recurring show opening using the Tiffany lobby door. He looked around, and said “yeah!” At the time, Dino’s was named 'Chez Denis.'
I was manager 1978 – 1980. When did you work there?
I left New York and the Bleecker Street Cinema in 1977, and my first job in California was manager of the Tiffany Theatre. My first day was a late August Friday, with art films in the evening; and Rocky Horror at midnight and 2AM. I’d been feeling not great, but I put it down to nerves starting a new job.
Right at midnight, just as they were about to open the doors to the Rocky Horror crowd, I fainted in the middle of the lobby! It turns out that I had the flu, and some people from the Tiffany staff [bless you Jim Bennett and Mary Whiteley] took me to the ER.
They thought Rocky Horror was too much for me— but I returned 2
days later, and managed the Tiffany til spring, 1980.
Rocky Horror was my life…
I remember attending The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 81-83 and it has great memories for me growing up there.
