Marian Nixon Research Trip - Itinerary
Less than TWO weeks! Here’s what I’ve got planned…! *screaming*
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you’ve had a nice week. I’m currently writing this blog from my phone instead of my MacBook—wish me luck. I’m on the way to Daytona Beach for 90s Con to meet the Sweet Valley High twins, Brittany and Cynthia Daniel!
ANYWAYS, I started my day with iced coffee from Dunkin so we know it’s going to be a good day.
But… back to Marian Nixon. Thanks to your help last week, I’m going to start referring to her with the double ‘a.’
My California research trip for her book is SOON SOON. Less than two weeks as of this posting! And, it’s not even just a research trip but also a promotional trip for Laura La Plante: Silent Cinderella. I am THRILLED beyond words.
Here is the itinerary!!!
Research Appointments:
Two days of going through Marian Nixon’s personal scrapbooks at USC! She has eight boxes of them!
One and a half days at UCLA to watch Marian Nixon films—as well as a few extra films! (One is even going to be for my NEXT book after Marian. Yes, she is already all picked out!!!)
An appointment at The Pickford Center for a home video screening with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences!
Going through papers at The Margaret Herrick Library from Marian and Bill Seiter!!
Laura La Plante promo:
Film screening for The Cat and the Canary (1927) and book signing for Laura La Plante: Silent Cinderella at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum on October 5th at 7pm in Fremont, CA! Tickets coming soon!!!
Photoshoot around Hollywood with my MOMager as photographer with my book!!! Visiting ALL iconic Laura La Plante spots!
Extra things!

And as much as I can squeeze in elsewhere…!
Can’t you tell I’m freaking out? Two weeks! LESS than two weeks, actually. I better start packing!
Have a great week. Talk soon.
Until next time,
Laura Jerrolds
