My grandfather was an electrician for MGM all the way through to the talkies, and the last movie he worked on was Forbidden Planet. Kate Hepburn insisted that he lit her scenes, and gave him a cigarette case custom engraved to him using her nickname for him and her signature. I wish I had the brains when I was a kid to pick my grandpa's brains more. I did get to attend one of the MGM picnics in the 60's, with all the stars and big wigs. It all went right over my head. I was such a dumb kid. I've spent more time in Grauman's Chinese Theater than any other great theater in my life. I still refuse to call it by any of its newer names. We went to a 1930s movie marathon at Grauman's and spent a solid 24 hours parked in those seats. Loved it, but OMG did we pay for it with wear and tear of our bodies. Still love Grauman's, though.
Very cool documentary!👍👍 Did you know there is a secret passageway from the back of the Pantages over to the Frolic Room that stars would use to get there without having to deal with the crowd of fans?
