I was an assistant manager of the Avco Center Cinemas in Westwood when it opened in May of 1972. I was promoted from Assistant Manager of the Crest in Westwood. Our opening attractions were “PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM” from Paramount, the Shirley MacLaine film THE POSSESSION OF JOEL DELANEY from Paramount and ARUZA from Avco Embassy – film on the life of bullfighter Aruza. Soon after opening, our first change was BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE with Goldie Hawn. Our seating capacities were #1 at 1124, #2 at 424 and #3 at 714. I have many great memories and many many stories to tell from my days at the Avco.
