AN AFTERNOON WITH NANCY OLSON @ HOLLYWOOD HERITAGE

AN AFTERNOON WITH NANCY OLSON @ HOLLYWOOD HERITAGE

At the young age of 22 actress Nancy Olson had the great fortune of being cast in the ingenue role in a film starring William Holden, Gloria Swanson and Erich Von Stroheim. That motion picture was the epic Sunset Boulevard. For this picture she was nominated for an Academy Award. The film Sunset Boulevard has always been near and dear to the residents of Windsor Square and Hancock Park since it was filmed in a mansion once located at the intersection of Crenshaw and Wilshire Boulevard.

Member Price $25
Non-members $45

TOUR OF THE HISTORIC HERALD EXAMINER BUILDING @ HERALD EXAMINER BUILDING
TOUR THE HISTORIC HERALD EXAMINER BUILDING
designed by famed architect Julia Morgan
In 1904, Morgan was the first woman to obtain an architecture license in California. Greatly impressed by her work on the reconstruction of the Fairmont Hotel, after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Phoebe Hearst recommended Morgan for several large construction projects, including Asilomar. Her son, William Randolph Hearst, was likewise greatly impressed and, after his mother’s death, retained Morgan to design what would become the biggest and most famous project of her career, Hearst Castle.
