Inquire About The Brentwood Historical Society

Next meeting March 17

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day and Women’s History Month, the Brentwood Historical Society welcomes the return of Marc Courtade, who will speak about the tempestuous Maureen O’Hara.
Irish born Maureen O’Hara was a spirited actress noted for playing strong willed beauties in the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was known as the Queen of Technicolor, which showcased her bright green eyes and flawless peaches-and-cream complexion. Her films included Westerns and adventure films, and she often worked with John Wayne and director John Ford. O’Hara received an Honorary Academy Award at age 95, recognizing her career which spanned over 60 years.
Join us on Monday, March 17 at 4:00 in the Brentwood Public Library auditorium for this timely presentation. All are welcome!

Thanks Rick Feingold

Fascinating presentation by Rick Feingold on Barbie:An American Icon. At a time when most women were homemakers, Ruth Handler was a savvy and forward-thinking business woman who created a doll with adult features that became a best-selling toy.IMG_2449
