Free event, R egister Here
Celebrate the life and times of Marion Davies -- silent film actress, famed party hostess, and the original Beach House resident. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Happy Birthday Marion Zoom presentation celebration by the Annenberg Community Beach House and Santa Monica Conservancy.

Kick-off the celebration by making Marion’s Sunset at the Beach mocktail. Enjoy tales and tidbits about Marion and her circle with Santa Monica Conservancy docents. Get a glimpse into Marion’s Ziegfeld Follies days. Cut a rug doing the uptown lowdown in the privacy of your own home with music of the 1920s and 30s with songstress Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys, and pianist Frederick Hodges. Let’s raise a glass and lift our spirits!

Registrants will receive an event Zoom link and the recipe for Marion’s Sunset at the Beach mocktail the week prior.

Registration closes Saturday, January 30 at 3pm.
