Free Lecture: Crime, Passion & Hollywood in La Cañada Flintridge

  • Lanterman House 4420 Encinas Drive La Cañada Flintridge, CA, 91011 United States (map)

A town where crimes of desperate passion take place, where murderers use wealth and influence to get themselves acquitted, and a place that is home to a cavalcade of movie stars. Sounds like we’re describing Hollywood, but actually we’re talking about quiet old La Canada Flintridge.

Historian and author Mike Lawler will recount some truly astounding tales of crimes committed here, along with some of the Hollywood stars present and past that live here.

No reservations necessary; however seating is limited to 50.
