It’s time for this month’s Townee Trivia! Townee Trivia is sponsored by Townee Tours (me), San Pedro’s premiere (only) walking tour company and gives you a taste of one of my three tours of the Historic Waterfront District. I shared a trivia nugget from my “Back-Lot San Pedro” tour. I’d like to share another because I had such a fun time at the Beatles show this past Friday. There have been so many amazing performances on stage at the Warner Grand over the years and some of them have been courtesy of Hollywood.
This Youtube clip starts in Spanish, but the performance is all in English. It’s a clip from ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It” starring Angela Basset and Laurence Fishburne. Angela plays the role of Tina Turner, Laurence plays the part of Tina’s husband Ike and the Warner Grand is playing the role of the famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem. This wouldn’t be the last time the Warner Grand stood in for a world famous concert hall. Some years later the Warner Grand had a small role as Carnegie Hall in Running With Scissors.
