I really just joined to share a comment with you all about the Fox Redondo. My Great Uncle’s mother, “owned” that theater. Or possibly more correct (though I’d have to write the family for sure), she financially backed the building of it? And hence my parents viewed her as the owner. Her last name was Fitzgerald, her first name escapes me, maybe Barbara. I was just wondering if any of the long time managers at the theater might recognize this information. Because of her tie with the theater, our family was invited every 4th of July to go up to the roof and watch the fireworks. This was in the early 60s, and I must’ve only been 10 or so.
I remember seeing many a James Bond movies there, Endless Summer, Tora, Tora, Tora, Haley Mills films and many more. There was a time when it only cost 50 cents to get in, and we called it “The 50-center”, then it went up to 75 cents, and it took forever to get used to saying that. Then, it got torn down some years later. Such a loss, and part of my personal family history gone.
