Happy Birthday Marion Davies!
It's party time at the Annenberg
Community Beach House, in honor of Marion Davies' birthday,
co-sponsored by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Conservancy.
The celebration is Sunday, January 12, 2014, from 11
am - 2 pm. Many of Marion's famous friends and family members
will be on hand to share their stories and memories of her....you may encounter
Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Marlene Dietrich, and WR Hearst, among
others. Docents will be attired in period dress, and guests are
encouraged to do the same.
Guest house tours are from 11 - 1, followed by naughty and
nice tunes of the 20s and 30s performed by Janet Klein and John Reynolds.
Refreshments and a toast to Marion at 1:30. Rare photos from a
private collection and a rediscovered oil painting of Marion will be
displayed.
