Lights, Camera…Catalina!<br />

Cecil B. DeMille filmed his 1919 silent film called<br />
“Male and Female” on Catalina Island (Courtesy<br />

Catalina Island has been the location<br />
for more than 500 Hollywood movies,<br />
reaching back more than a century<br />
to Hollywood’s silent era, while also<br />
proving popular for the shooting<br />
of TV programs, documentaries<br />
and commercials. But the island<br />
has not only held allure for location<br />
scouts. It has also proven irresistible<br />
to Hollywood’s stars, such as John<br />
Wayne and Marilyn Monroe, who<br />
have gravitated to the island for its<br />
appealing qualities: peace, quiet,<br />
sunshine, secluded coves, pristine<br />
waters and boating. Another<br />
interesting and lasting impression<br />
of this unique history was the<br />
introduction of the North American<br />
Bison to the island. The bison were<br />
brought to Catalina for the film “The<br />
Vanishing American” in 1924 and<br />
never left. Now a herd of about 150<br />
bison roam the island’s interior.<br />
Enjoy a movie or see a show under the<br />
twinkling lights of The Avalon Theatre’s<br />
stunning art deco interior.<br />
