Author and lecturer Abby Mendelson will discuss the Jewish experience in Hollywood in a four lectures series (May 13, 20 and 27 and June 3). Forced out of New York, a small group of filmmaking immigrant Jews got as far away from Thomas Edison as they could – all the way to the deserts of Southern California. There, they created the Dream Factory – and succeeded far beyond their wildest expectations, creating both an entire new industry and a true American mythos. While they should have been happy and secure in their new positions, they remained afraid – of America and Europe, of Joseph Kennedy and Joseph McCarthy. Hiding in plain sight, signaling their concerns in coded films, they strove to survive, to assimilate, to retain their nascent empire – with highly mixed results. REGISTER BELOW FOR ALL FOUR PROGRAMS.
Week I: Something New
Neil Gabler, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood
Week II: Dodging the Holocaust
Aljean Harmetz, Round Up the Usual Suspects: The Making of Casablanca
Week III: Fighting the Fifth Column
Steven Ross, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America
Week IV: Battling the Blacklist
Glenn Frankel, High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic

Author and lecturer Abby Mendelson will discuss the Jewish experience in Hollywood in a four lectures series (May 13, 20 and 27 and June 3). Forced out of New York, a small group of filmmaking immigrant Jews got as far away from Thomas Edison as they could – all the way to the deserts of Southern California. There, they created the Dream Factory – and succeeded far beyond their wildest expectations, creating both an entire new industry and a true American mythos. While they should have been happy and secure in their new positions, they remained afraid – of America and Europe, of Joseph Kennedy and Joseph McCarthy. Hiding in plain sight, signaling their concerns in coded films, they strove to survive, to assimilate, to retain their nascent empire – with highly mixed results. REGISTER BELOW FOR ALL FOUR PROGRAMS.
Week I: Something New
Neil Gabler, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood
Week II: Dodging the Holocaust
Aljean Harmetz, Round Up the Usual Suspects: The Making of Casablanca
Week III: Fighting the Fifth Column
Steven Ross, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America
Week IV: Battling the Blacklist
Glenn Frankel, High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic

Join Heather White, Artists and Communities Program Coordinator at the Warhol Museum, for an evening of discussion of Warhol's work, and a demonstration of one of his techniques, the Acetate Collage. Learn how Andy Warhol combined photography, collage, silkscreening, and drawing to create a more “collaged” look and feel in some of his commissioned portraits in the 1970s and 1980s. By adding torn graphic color aid papers underneath acetate and then drawing on top, he was able to experiment with different color combinations before committing to a color scheme for his final silkscreened portrait.
Participants will have an opportunity to learn the process, and try it out! No artistic training necessary, all suplies will be provided.
