I worked at the National from June ‘76 (starting with “The Big Bus”) through December '81 (“Reds”). Great times. During that time, I saw on the average of two movies every week free at one of the Westwood theatres via the wonderful “pass system”. While at the National, the Manager was Frank Ramsey, a huge personality with a number of colorful greetings. He loved his dog (anyone remember the name, Tinkerbell?) and appreciated his employees. Those were the days when stars would regularly visit Westwood and premiers were almost weekly occurrences at the Village, Bruin, National, Avco, etc. Thanks to Michael Coate for his great movie list!
