Who knew watching movies could be so exhausting?<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I wanted to plug a lecture I&#8217;ll be giving at the Encino-Tarzana Branch Library. Last year, the fine librarians at the branch invited me to do some sort of talk for Women&#8217;s Heritage Month. I prepared a slideshow discussing the changing roles of women in the post-War era using images from the <a href=\"photos.lapl.org\/carlweb\/jsp\/photosearch_pageADV.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Public Library&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.valleytimes.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Valley Times Collection<\/a>, which I happen to oversee. That topic drew a whopping 3 people, so when they invited me again this year, I wasn&#8217;t taking any chances.<\/p>\n<p>This time I&#8217;ll be talking about the pre-Code era and focusing on a handful of actresses and illustrating film clips. If that doesn&#8217;t draw more than 3 people, than I don&#8217;t know what will! Narrowing down which actresses to spotlight was no easy task though Ann Dvorak was always a shoe-in (was there any doubt?).<\/p>\n<p>The lecture will start at 6:30pm on Tuesday, March 31st. The branch is located at 18231 Ventura Blvd, Tarzana, CA 91356. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anndvorak.com\/cms\/event\/thou-shalt-not-the-actresses-of-pre-code-hollywood\/?instance_id=57\">Full details can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hope to see some of you L.A. locals there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have returned home from the TCM Film Festival (home being only 10 minutes away) and will give a full report as soon as I recover a bit.
