When I contacted the Senior Librarian over at the Encino-Tarzana Branch<\/a> of the Los Angeles Public Library about doing a program devoted to Ann Dvorak’s Encino ranch hous<\/a>e, I thought he would tell me I was an idiot for suggesting something so narrow and esoteric. Instead, he was totally on board and really excited about it. So, on February 6th at 6pm<\/a>, I will be presenting “Walnuts, Sanka and a Cow Named Garbo: Ann Dvorak’s Encino Ranch<\/a>.” It’ll be around an hour with a slide show packed full of every photo I have ever been able to find of that property, including ones of subsequent owners that I found in the LAPL Photo Collection<\/a>. Of course, copies of\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel<\/em><\/a> will be available for purchase. Ann Dvorak never stayed put for too long. Even when living in the same general area (ie Los Angeles, Hawaii), she tended to switch residences often. Ann and husband Leslie Fenton purchased the Encino property in 1934, had the home built, and she resided on the 35 acre walnut ranch until 1946, making it the longest she ever lived in one place. The property has significance for me because it was where I got married in 2007.<\/a><\/p>\n

The branch was so enthusiastic about the program that they also scheduled screenings of some of Ann’s films! The showed\u00c2\u00a0G Men<\/strong> yesterday and have\u00c2\u00a0Scarface\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>scheduled for January 30th<\/a>, \u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0Three on a Match<\/strong> sometime in the near future. They generously let me take up prime real estate near their entrance to promote the program.<\/p>\n

If you’re in the L.A. area on February 6th, I hope you’ll come join us in Encino to pay tribute to their “hometown girl!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
