For the 43rd year, the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles “digs up the dirt” on Hollywood history - including a few scandals - via a living history walking tour of the 127-year-old Hollywood Forever Cemetery at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard. Visit the gravesites of early Hollywood stars, movie moguls, and the pioneers who shaped Los Angeles, to hear fascinating tales about their lives (both their accomplishments and misdeeds) from historians and living history performances. Tours will commence every 20 minutes, rain or shine, between 9:00 and 11:00 AM.

For four years, from 1930 through 1934, Hollywood was hard to tame. Many films produced during the Pre-Code era brazenly tackled an array of risque subjects from sexual freedom to lawlessness to racial taboos. Made during the depts of the Great Depression, these movies pushed the bounds of societal and cultural norms as Hollywood studios saw their profits plummeting and were determined to lure audiences into theaters in any way possible. In this presentation, Pre Code Essentials, authors Danny Reid and Kim Luperi explore the fascinating history of the period with spotlights on some of the most provocative and shocking elements and movies of the era.
