Description

From its founding to the present day, the city of Pasadena has drawn brilliant, talented and innovative thinkers and creators to live and work here. Pasadena is the birthplace of remarkable achievements and innovative ideas, in architecture and transportation, entertainment and food, and science and technology and more. Pasadena Heritage will highlight a sampling of amazing accomplishments and “firsts” in its Uniquely Pasadena summer lecture series, continuing with part two, on Sunday, July 31. In our second program we look at entertainment and food that is unique to Pasadena. We are thrilled to have two very special guest speakers join us, so pull up a chair and we will provide the popcorn as you hear some entertaining stories! Our first speaker is independent publicist, B. Harlan Böll. Harlan specializes in literary, personality and event PR and resides in Altadena. A very small sample list of his clients includes a who's who of classic Hollywood: Tippi Hedren, Julie Newmar, Marion Ross, Carolyn Hennesy, Rich Little, Anson Williams, and Michael Learned. He also represented the late Carol Channing, Esther Williams, Rose Marie, Rip Taylor, Florence Henderson, Phyllis Diller, and Dawn Wells to name a few. He continues to represent The estate of the late Mr. Blackwell, Bob Hope/Bob Hope Enterprises, Inc., and The Bob Hope Legacy, and the world famous Magic Castle. He serves as special PR advisor to The Smithsonian Institution (NMAH): Entertainment Division, and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Daytime EMMY® Awards). While watching your favorite movie you are most likely snacking on some uniquely Pasadena snacks from Trader Joe’s, so you won’t want to miss this book discussion by our second guest speaker, co-author of “Becoming Trader Joe,” Patty Civalleri. Joe Coulombe, the Founder of Trader Joe's, created the business that surpassed all expectations to become America's "Sweetheart" grocer. The very first store opened here in Pasadena and is still open at 610 S Arroyo Parkway. Patty will share Joe's stories from the book in her lively and entertaining style, and will be available to sign books afterwards. Guests may attend in person or virtually via Zoom. Free parking is availabel behind the Blinn House and accessed from 165 N. Madison Avenue, 91101. Save the date: August 27 for part three of our speaker series. The topic will be Science, Technology and People! With appreciation to our sponsor With appreciation to our sponsor
