<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> married Harry J. <strong>Burk</strong> in 1945. The couple had three children Tray, Linda, and Jimmy, and the family resided in Wilshire<br />

Papers<br />
In 1964, <strong>Burk</strong> started working as an assistant at the Huntington Savings and Loan Association. She was quickly promoted to vice president<br />
and manager of the Wilshire-Highland branch and by the end of 1965, she became vice president and director of public relations for the<br />
entire association. These promotions were distinctive, for <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> was one of the first female vice-presidents of a financial<br />
institution in the Southern California.<br />
While working at the Huntington Savings and Loan, <strong>Burk</strong> became involved in the Wilshire Center Chamber of Commerce and in 1969, she<br />
was elected as the first female president of the chamber. Her previous work for the Wilshire Center of Chamber of Commerce as Chair of the<br />
Governmental Affairs Committee and of the General Membership Speaker Committee and as a member of the Transportation and Parking<br />
Committee had paved the way for this presidency.<br />
Among her other distinctive firsts, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> also managed to become the first woman voted in to the Lions Club International.<br />
In 1974, in an indication of her prominence in the business world and her important connections, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> was nominated to be<br />
Treasurer of the United States in the Richard Nixon Administration.<br />
In 1969, <strong>Burk</strong> became the public relations director for the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove, where she worked in some capacity<br />
until 1990. During her time with the Ambassador Hotel, <strong>Burk</strong> scheduled and coordinated hundreds of events such as award shows, fashion<br />
shows and conventions. Her work as publicist for the hotel earned her national advertising awards and public relations awards. For example,<br />
in 1971 she received the Hotel-Motel National Public Relations Gold Key, a signal honor in her profession.<br />
After the hotel closed in 1989, <strong>Burk</strong> continued to book the hotel as a filming location. Numerous movies and television shows were filmed<br />
there including Pretty Woman and The Aviator .<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>'s love for the hotel and appreciation of its history prompted her to write and publish a book entitled Are the Stars Out<br />
Tonight?: The Story of the World Famous Ambassador and Cocoanut Grove Hollywood's Hotel . This book includes a history, photographs<br />
and anecdotes about the hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. Besides writing this book, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> also authored two other books, was<br />
a columnist for Meredith Publications, and contributed to such publications as Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> co-founded her own public relations firm, <strong>Burk</strong>-Hudson Public Relations, with Marylin Hudson in 1972. Their clients<br />
included the Tony Marks Accounting Firm, Iran National Tourist Organization, California Senior Beauty Pageant and Summit Lighthouse.<br />
Their public relations firm worked out of the Ambassador Hotel.<br />
Along with Adela Rogers St. Johns and Marylin Hudson, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> founded the Round Table West in 1977. A sophisticated book<br />
club, the Round Table West hosted famous authors such as Ray Bradbury, Walter Cronkite, Maya Angelou and Michael Crichton and served<br />
as a platform for authors to meet their readers and promote and discuss their books. At one point, with three meetings a month respectively<br />
in Newport Beach, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles, Round Table West was the largest book club in the country.<br />
The philanthropic and community contributions of <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> are numerous; the following is just a sample. She founded the<br />
Hancock Park Art Council and the Huntington Organ Society. She served as the fund-raising chair for the Children's Home Society of<br />
Bakersfield. She was also a board member of the Professional Women to the Philharmonic and the Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical<br />
Society.<br />

In addition there are numerous photographs documenting the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. The Ambassador Hotel opened in<br />
1921 and closed in 1989. Located at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, the hotel stood as a hub of Los Angeles social life. The hotel and its famous<br />
Cocoanut Grove nightclub was a center of Hollywood night life. The hotel hosted Academy Awards ceremonies and other entertainment<br />
events, such as film shoots; political rallies; and fundraisers for charities. Performers such as Bing Crosby, Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, and<br />
Rudy Vallee performed at the Cocoanut Grove. Movie stars, politicians, and royalty all stayed at the Ambassador Hotel. The hotel was also<br />
the scene of one of the more important events in Los Angeles and national history: the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. The<br />
photographs of this collection are especially rich, documenting the activities of these Hollywood movie stars and events at the Ambassador<br />
Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. There are photographs of Academy Awards ceremonies at the Ambassador, for example. In addition there<br />
are a number of photographic stills of movie stars, eg, Joan Crawford. Numerous photographs also provide evidence for the decoration of<br />
hotel rooms and the hotel grounds during the course of its history, and publicity shots document activities at the hotel. Many photographs,<br />
unfortunately, are water damaged, and require special care in handling.<br />
Ephemera include menus from the Ambassador Hotel and programs concerning Ambassador Hotel events. Most flyers concern either the<br />
Round Table West and its events or else advertisements for events at the Ambassador Hotel.<br />

Series 3 Round Table West 1960-2007<br />
Physical Description: 25 archival document boxes<br />
Scope and Content Note<br />
This collection consists of the records of the "Round Table West," a prominent book club in which<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> played a key role, both as co-founder and as director. Partners in a public relations<br />
firm, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> and Marilyn Hudson, at the instigation of their friend the renowned journalist<br />
Adela Rogers St. John, founded Round Table West in 1977. Hudson would become the organization's<br />
executive director, while <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> served as the chair. Round Table West's meetings centered<br />
on a luncheon, where authors, often celebrities, discussed their work. According to Publisher's Weekly,<br />
this luncheon was the largest held by any book club in the United States. From its initial meeting place at<br />
the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Round Table West grew, hosting three meetings at month, with<br />
200 to 600 people in attendance. The meetings covered much of Southern California: the La Quinta Club<br />
and Resort in La Quinta, California; the Beverly Wilshire, in Beverly Hills, California; and in Orange<br />
County, either at the Balboa Bay Club or else at the Newport Beach Country Club. Authors and celebrities<br />
who presented books included Maya Angelou, Benny Goodman, Joseph Wambaugh, and Ray Bradbury.<br />
By 2005, in the twenty-eighth year of its existence, Round Table West claimed to have hosted 3,000<br />
authors.<br />
Besides hosting book forums at luncheons, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>, through Round Table West's "Books for<br />
the Bookless" program, collected, and then distributed, 2,000 books to hospitals, libraries, and prison.<br />
By 2006, Round Table West had begun to cease functioning, and is now defunct. Materials in this<br />
collection include correspondence, meeting and promotional flyers, newspaper clippings, press releases,<br />
and black and white and color photographs documenting the history of Round Table West. Photographs<br />
of authors at Round Table West include Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, Carol Channing, Ginger Rogers, and<br />
Joseph Wambaugh. The dates of the holdings in this series fall between 1960 and 2007. The titles that<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> assigned to the folders are found in parentheses at the beginning of the "Contents"<br />
field.<br />
Series 6: Personal and Professional Papers contains some material on Round Table West in the form of<br />
correspondence that was mixed in with Maragret <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>'s personal correspondence.<br />

Series 4 Ambassador Hotel Book 1923-2005<br />
Physical Description: 14 boxes<br />
Scope and Content Note<br />
Building on her career at, and love for, the Ambassador Hotel, <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> wrote a book entitled<br />
Are the Stars Out Tonight? The Story of the Famous Ambassador and Cocoanut Grove Hollywood's<br />
Hotel. The book was published in 1980 but by 1995 was out of print; in 2003 another run of the book was<br />
printed. Besides treating the history of the hotel and the Cocoanut Grove, the book is well illustrated with<br />
invaluable photographs of celebrities and personages who lived, dined and danced, and entertained at<br />
the Ambassador and the Cocoanut Grove. In short it captures the spirit of a bastion of the golden age of<br />
Hollywood from the 1920s through the 1950s.<br />
This series consists of the subject files that <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> relied on to write her book. The titles that<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> assigned to the folders are found in parentheses at the beginning of the "Contents"<br />
field. The original order of the folders was not discernible; thus, the arrangement in the box and folder list<br />
does not reflect this. The Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove had no archives, so these are<br />
materials that <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> gathered during the course of her research on the hotel and night<br />
club. They consist of newspaper clippings; <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>'s personal notes on her research and<br />
writing; correspondence; photographs and negatives; hotel and Cocoanut Grove records, such as<br />
bookings, press releases, and call sheets for films shot at the hotel; and hotel brochures (often<br />
photocopies). Also included are records of the production, sales, and promotion of the book. Because<br />
Stars was printed under the auspices of the Round Table West, the notable book club that <strong>Margaret</strong><br />
<strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> co-founded, there is some material from the club intermixed with this series.<br />
Series 6: Personal and Professional Papers contains some material on the Ambassador Hotel in the form<br />
of correspondence that was mixed in with her personal correspondence.<br />

responsible for the photographs; besides professional photographers, many of the photographs are<br />
personal, shot by such persons as <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> herself. Loyola Marymount University does not<br />
assume copyright responsibility for these photographs or other images and will not reproduce them.<br />
This series has been arranged into two subseries. Subseries A contains photographs of celebrities and<br />
personages at the Hotel or the Cocoanut Grove, as well as publicity stills of celebrities with whom<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> had personal or professional contact. In this series, such movie stars as Paul<br />
Newman and Judy Garland and Humphrey Bogart can be seen at the Cocoanut Grove or entertainers<br />
such as Ray Charles and the Andrews Sisters performing at the nightclub.<br />
The photographs of Subseries A are particularly valuable for the documentation that they provide of<br />
events involving celebrities and personages at the Hotel and Grove, such as television specials taped<br />
there or press conferences; an example of the former is a Muppets television special (1979), that of the<br />
latter a press conference of South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky at the height of the<br />
Vietnam War in the 1960s.<br />
Subseries B contains photographs and transparencies of the grounds, buildings, and facilities of the<br />
Ambassador Hotel as well as events held at the Hotel. Photographs of the facilities and rooms of the hotel<br />
include its bungalows, courtyards and gardens, rooms, swimming pool, and dining rooms, such as the<br />
Venetian Room. The chronological span of the photographs of the layout and grounds of the Hotel<br />
reaches from the 1920s to the 1980s, thereby providing an excellent overview of what a luxury hotel<br />
looked like in Los Angeles over the course of the twentieth century. In particular the photographs of the<br />
Hotel made in the 1940s by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (cf. Box 3) document in detail the facilities and<br />
operations of a luxury hotel.<br />
The photographs of this series also richly document the Cocoanut Grove, the world-famous nightclub that<br />
was part of the Ambassador Hotel. These photographs include the interior and exterior of the Grove in its<br />
first manifestation from 1921 to 1957, the year of its first remodel, and then its renovation in the early<br />
1970s by Sammy Davis, Jr., among others.<br />
This subseries also documents hotel activities, such as employee awards or managerial staff on the job at<br />
the Ambassador Hotel.<br />

Series 6 Personal and Professional Papers 1955-2009<br />
Physical Description: 16 boxes, 3 oversized boxes, 3 items in one map case drawer<br />
Scope and Content Note<br />
Series 6 consists of loose <strong>papers</strong> and subject files that came with collection, without discernable original<br />
order (something true of the collection as a whole). The holdings cover such matters as the club for<br />
friends that <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> formed around the astrological sign Leo, called "Love a Leo." There are<br />
also subject files that <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> compiled on personal acquaintances such as Robert Young or<br />
Adela Rogers St. John. The correspondence includes some material related to the Ambassador Hotel or<br />
the Round Table West or both; it was included in this series because it was filed with personal letters or<br />
all three subjects were filed together. The series also includes black and white and color photographs of<br />
<strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>, her friends and families, and her activities. Finally, this series contains the only<br />
information on <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong>'s membership in the Lions Club; she was the first woman admitted to<br />
this club (Box 3, Folder 20). The titles that <strong>Margaret</strong> <strong>Tante</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> assigned to the folders are found in<br />
quotation marks at the beginning of the "Contents" field.<br />
