I know that I mention that Famous Theater seem unknown. I was wrong. I just needed to find the right people to ask. I found older African-American residents who remebered the Famous and talked about life on the westside in the 1940s and 1950s at the Unity Day festival celebrating Martin Luther King's legacy. There memories helped to clarify the story of the Famous and its relationship to the Star, but more importantly it reminded me of the importance of getting out and recording stories.
