Famous Monsters of Hollywood Founder Forrest J. Ackerman Remembered
The
Forrest J. Ackerman Memorial will be held at the Egyptian on Sunday,
March 8, 2009. Details.
Forrest J. Ackerman was a dear friend of the American Cinematheque and a frequent patron.
He purchased a few rows of seats in the auditorium and named them for his friends and
idols of the silver screen. Next time you visit the theatre sit in for Boris Karloff's or
Forry's "seats" for a treat - you'll find the plaques on the seat backs. Famous Monsters of
Filmland event on May 30 & 31! December 4, 2008 more > (photo: Lee Christian)
Robert Wood Nudelman, 52, a legendary figure in the
fight to preserve Hollywood’s heritage, passed away at his
father’s home in Tuscon Tuesday. Ever present at meetings and hearings in the
Hollywood community for 30 years, Nudelman is often credited as a driving force behind the
restoration of landmark theaters and other buildings in Hollywood, spearheading a
renaissance of the once-blighted area. (more) Posted May 7,

Photos of You at the Egyptian
Wanted for Myspace Gallery
We've noticed a lot of people taking photos of
themselves in front of the Egyptian Theatre over the years and some of the poses are
really quite original!
We'd love to see your photos and then we
thought... "wouldn't it be cool to have a gallery of them on myspace... and wouldn't
it be cool if it were the world's largest collection of photos of people at the Egyptian
Theatre, Hollywood's most historic, still-standing movie palace..." Its certainly
what theatre founder Sid Grauman would have done if myspace had existed in 1922. He was a
master showman and always did everything BIG. Just look at our theatre!
So click below and add your photo and comments
(where you are from, the date of the photo and anything else you'd like to say about that
day). We hereby open our gallery to the world on this 3rd day of August in the year 2006!
