The scene is one under Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles ,well, er, in Hollywood. It is the Metro Red Line Station. Above ground is the spot that pretty girls used to go to get discovered by a Hollywood movie mogul.
The Hollywood and Vine Red Line Station becomes the only working station in Hollywood next week, Sunday, Feb. 26, when the Academy Awards come to Hollywood and Highland at the It-Used-To-Be-Called-The-Kodak-Theater. That Metro Gold Line station will be closed all day for the Academy Awards.
We were in Hollywood today attending a taping of the KPCC-89.3-FM radio program with Larry Mantle "Film Week on Air Talk." The special Oscar show featured eight Hollywood movie critics talking about the nominated films and performances. The event was held at the Egyptian Theater, a 90-year-old theater in Hollywood. The show will air on kpcc.org as well on Friday Feb. 24 at 10: 30 a.m. For you non-So Cal readers, you can go to that web site and listen to it (download it, I believe). Listen for me and Karen clapping for "The Artist" as best picture.
That's a wrap.
Great shot of Magu Lujan's artwork.
