Description

Enjoy a catered breakfast, silly songs, club traditions, and special presentation each week at the historic Los Angele Breakfast Club. VACCINATION REQUIREMENT: Out of a concern for health and safety, we are requiring all attendees to be COVID vaccinated at least 14 days prior to visiting the LABC. Please bring your COVID vaccination card or digital record issued by the State of California or County of Los Angeles to the club the morning of your visit. We respectfully remind you that no guest will be admitted to the LABC without proof of full vaccination. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Christina Rice offers the first biography of the actress and activist perhaps most well-known for her role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). Despite the fact that her movie career was stalled for nearly a decade, Russell's filmography is respectable. She worked with some of Hollywood's most talented directors―including Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Nicholas Ray, and Josef von Sternberg―and held her own alongside costars such as Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Clark Gable, Vincent Price, and Bob Hope. She also learned how to fight back against Howard Hughes, her boss for more than thirty-five years, and his marketing campaigns that exploited her physical appearance. ABOUT THE CLUB: Founded in 1925, the Los Angeles Breakfast Club still thrives with food, friendship, and fun. Our meetings are held in our clubhouse, Friendship Auditorium, located at 3201 Riverside Drive, near the corner of Los Feliz Boulevard, in Griffith Park. Best described as a variety show, attendees enjoy a catered breakfast, silly songs, club traditions, and an interesting presentation from a guest speaker. Please arrive between 6:45 - 7:00 AM sharp! Doors close at 7:15 AM. Your admission includes a buffet breakfast and enjoyment of our 96-year-old weekly variety show. TICKETS: Sales on Eventbrite close 48 hours before breakfast. Non-members are $20 and Members are $15, utilizing the special discount code. The Los Angeles Breakfast Club, founded in 1925 by notable businessmen and entertainment icons, still thrives today with its eccentric traditions and good food.
