WOW! I hope this great group of people is still thriving, writing, remembering and sharing all of it’s interest and enthusiasm for what I also remember as “The Diamond” of all the glorious theaters from the exciting days of the birth of the movie biz. Outside of the sphere of all life within closr proximity to the “original Hollywood”… there grew a whole other world, originally known as Hollywood Riviera, which is where the lives & the legends of places like The Fox began. Although I’m just dying to chatter and connect immediately… I know that there is a MAJOR, untapped (as far I know) source of personal info. that I must try to reach before I do anything else. He will be so thrilled, and he comes from three generations of family, that not only lived through the earliest days of the development of the South Bay, but also lived and grew up partaking in the Fox Theaters earliest glory days… of evening gowns, live performances, silents & talkies, and celebs & red carpet openings aplenty! His first name is Steve… but I must try to reach him ASAP so he can relate , personally, all the stories he grew up hearing from his dearest grandmother, Marie (even I heard many of them) as she would recount her wonderful early life and her very special memories. Hope you will still be keeping this site going until I get a chance to return to it. Reading everyone’s memories has given me one of the most special afternoon experiences in quite some time! Until then… Carolyn
