- Share via
Westwood “then and now” is the theme of a weeklong 60th anniversary celebration that begins Friday.
The festivities include a pictorial odyssey on the area’s growth, which will be displayed at the Westwood Playhouse, as well as self-guided walking tours of Westwood Village and a free screening of the Greta Garbo film “Anna Christie.”
UCLA’s Oct. 27 Homecoming Parade will feature the anniversary as its theme.
“Celebrate Westwood’s 60th” was planned by a group that included homeowners, merchants, representatives from UCLA, Mayor Tom Bradley and City Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky.
Bradley is the honorary co-chairman of the committee. Its president is community activist Sandy Brown.
In addition to the events, a beautification organization and a historical society have been created. Artist Billy Al Bengston has created a T-shirt and poster for the occasion. For additional information about the anniversary observance, call 825-7439.
