Everyone’s invited to the 
third annual Happy Birthday Marion! celebration at the Annenberg Community Beach House. Santa Monica Conservancy docents turn the spotlight on Marion Davies: actress, philanthropist, famed party hostess and mistress of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst at Davies’s 1928 Julia Morgan designed Guest House.
From 11am – 1pm guests may visit the historic Guest House, view photos of Davies, and hear stories highlighting the life and personality of the woman often celebrated as the “bubbles in a glass of champagne.” From 11:15am-12:45pm, guests can see Marion in action in the 1931 film The Bachelor Father. At 1pm, Janet Klein and John Reynolds, will be performing naughty and nice tunes of the 20s and 30s, followed by a special birthday tribute to Marion at 1:30pm. Guests are encouraged to don their favorite Gold Coast era attire.
