Pasadena Museum of History supporters converged on The<br />

California Club in downtown Los Angeles Oct. 28 to honor<br />

this year’s Contemporary History Makers at a black-tie gala.<br />

After the crowd dined on filet mignon, Pasadena Mayor Terry<br />

Tornek presented a new award — the Arroyo Service Award — to<br />

former City Manager Don and Nancy McIntyre for their help<br />

in preserving Old Pasadena. Also honored for fostering Old<br />

Pasadena was Penny Plotkin, who, along with developer Ken<br />

and Tracy McCormick, took home Contemporary History Maker<br />

Awards. “We are but bricklayers in the foundation of the city,”<br />

Ken McCormick told the crowd… The L.A. Chamber Orchestra<br />

drew more than 1,000 guests to downtown L.A.’s Theatre at the<br />

Ace Hotel Nov. 11 for the latest installment of the popular LACO<br />

@ the Movies series. LACO screened Buster Keaton’s The General<br />

while performing a world premiere of composer Jeff Beal’s<br />

stirring score for the silent 1926 classic… Bright Star, a country<br />

musical by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, lured a galaxy of<br />

fellow celebrities to opening night at The Ahmanson Theatre in<br />

downtown L.A. on Oct. 20.<br />
