Betty O'Meara's signature is the brand of enthusiastic hospitality. It bloomed with her friends and no young pen friends, and arrived at the whole flower in Malibu Cinema. This was a movie theater that she had worked for 20 years at the Malibu center.
In the comfort cinema of Cross Creek Road, you can get dual functions at less than $ 5, sit at the may include Bob Dylan, Dyan Cannon or Bett Langka BURT LANCASTER's audience eats the counter.
The theater is a precious place for gathering, for a person who often moves from other places to Marbu.
"In those days, no one comes from here. We have no community center." It was a party. That's where we are together. "
O'Meara is low -key and loves quietly and quietly. It is at least 29 of the wild fire in January. The representative of the sheriff ordered her to evacuate her home in the Great Rock District of Malibu because Palisid roared at the sea. However, O'Meara, 94, slammed their faces suddenly, and her family later learned.
O'Meara's influence on her world is inversely proportional to her scale. She can only stand at 4 feet 10 at best, but often strengthen her platform shoes on a 5 -foot -high mark.
"She is full of vitality. Most importantly, positive energy." "She attracted people like a current. Betty is a powerful force."
As her daughter, son and friend said, Omela's early life was full of mysterious atmosphere. They were amazed with real life such as Douglas Macarthur and Lakers Jerry West.
"Obviously, this is a woman with extraordinary wisdom and perseverance," John Ziffren encountered O'Mearas before the entertainment executive. She was a teenage movie house. staff. "But she is also a person who likes to listen to stories. Every time I use rough words, I will laugh."
Betty O'Meara did not indicate the date of the date. He died of a fire in Palisades and was famous for warmth and hospitality.

She was born on October 5, 1930 at the Hawaiian territory at the time, and was the third of the four doctors' children. The family maintained a deep connection with its motherland Japan and returned there before the beginning of World War II.
Later, she would tell her family and many friends that she worked for MacAnthur, and Macarthur was the highest Allied commander who presided over Japan's reconstruction.
Monuki transferred to a job in the Pentagon. Her boss asked her to contact a mysterious Chinese pilot, and Americans wanted the pilot to defect against the West. She attracted the pilot and later brought her brush to the spy activity into an autobiographical script.
Her daughter said that when the studio who expressed interest wanted to play a white star played in the form of Omera, she gave up the project.
Monuki met David O'Meara in her apartment building in her Washington Special Economic Zone, which is the youngest of six children from an Irish American family in Boston. They soon became a couple and then got married because O'Meara (O'Meara) launched a sales and marketing occupation for the newcomer computer industry.
The Omela family finally landed in California in the 1960s. They fell for the beach, especially Malibu, and settled in Big Rock (Big Rock) in 1970. This is a cliff house.
O'Meara has almost no reason to go on vacation. "This is heaven. Why do I leave heaven?
David O'Meara decided to purchase Malibu Cinema in 1972, which is a Gambit to escape the life of his rootless salesman. He loves film business and becomes a famous neighbor of his customers.
He played the theater with love and minimalist budget, which means that the ticket seller sometimes runs a snack stall and is inclined to the projector.
Light equipment personnel means that the projector is sometimes not noticed, because the first scroll of this movie is exhausted. The audience was not often played by the black screen, and cut, rotated, and no one cared about the slap film of a film. (The crowd's shout quickly convened the disappeared projector.)
The time of other unpalatable scripts is provided by O'Mearas's pink Cockatoo (Kittyhawk). The bird will unveil its bright red feathers and eat it with unblied popcorn. If it is ignored for too long, Kittyhawk will protest. loudly. It will stimulate David O'Meara's also refute loudly: "Microwave!"
This tends to make Kittyhawk quiet.
As an independent theater, the theater strives to get the most popular movie. But Betty O'Meara reminds the studio that audiences in the theaters of more than 200 seats include voters from the School of Film Arts and Science. Then the studio did not provide a screener or digital ink for their films, so the playback in the Marbu movie theater was a good way to attract Oscar voters.
O'Mearas and their children are also the theater employees. They welcome bold names, but this does not mean that they have been treated specially.
The young David O'Meara Memored recalled that his father asked Lancaster to go to the sidewalk because the Hollywood legend is swallowing the ice cream cone at the nearby Swensen store. Malibu Cinema does not allow food outside. There are no exceptions.
Like today, Marb is full of celebrities, but in the era of Instagram, they tend to go with no media history. Barbra Streisand. Lee Marvin. Paul Newman. They are all here. No personal assistant. No bodyguard. No tail.
Frances O'Meara (Frances O'Meara) sometimes works at the snack counter, vividly recalling the time wearing an elegant Bank Porsche behind his father's car. It turned out to be Newman, and he asked for a few popcorn. (This star conducted a taste test when preparing to launch "Newman's own" popcorn.)
The teenage Frances has obligations, and her hand has shepherd a superstar. She recalled: "Those bright blue eyes." "It's just magnificent."
During the dawn of 1990, the theater was no longer feasible. O'Mearas was sold in 1991. The theater was permanently closed in 2017.
If you reach the place now, you will find a fashionable clothing store and a shop selling "customization" and "sustainable purchasing" hats. A version will return you to $ 2,200.
Betty O'Meara not only left her mark around the theater and big rocks. She did this by providing countless homemade Browni cakes and lemon bars. She did this by sending endless letters and cards. Friends know that their old neighbors are still at home, because the flag on her mailbox always seems to attract people's attention.
David O'Meara died in 1993, when he was only 64 years old. Since then, she has lived alone, although the hip fracture in 2020 forced her to take over the time of the day. She has been receiving neighbors and other guests.
She once asked Jerry West to eat a meal, and then insisted on asking him to fall into squatting so that she could understand a better defensive point. Not long ago, she asked SHEEN and his wife Janet to throw some sushi and other things together for dinner.
However, in most cases, she entertains daily neighbors and pays more attention to what they eat and drinking more than her needs. She may not sit at all, she focuses on guests. "She has the heart of a servant," said Robert Wolff, neighbor, and he united Christian and Jewish pastor.
For Frances O'Meara, this makes her mother a modern geisha. "Some people always know her audience, always know how to communicate, and know how to communicate."
On January 7, before Palisades Fire began to push into Malibu, O'Meara's guards left the client's drug. But the fire moved so fast that the police obstacles made it impossible for the guardians to return. Another checkpoint prevented Frances O'Meara's rescue from her mother.
O'Meara has been clarified for decades when other fires have not left. Perhaps she has a wrong sense of water, given all the time of Roca Chica Drive on Roca Chica Drive.
The representative of the sheriff later told Frances O'Meara that her mother did not listen to their orders at all.
The daughter loudly wanted to know whether the authorities should force the unwilling person, especially the elderly or the weak residents. But the family said that this was unintentionally blamed or prosecuted.
O'Meara's children believe that she may have a destiny theory for what is about to happen.
"My father went there. She died there. The house was dead," said Frances O'Meara. "This is a strange circle ... There are some Kister in the whole thing."
