In 1976 and 1977 I worked as an usher (and sometimes doorman, candy stand counterperson)at the Century Kings Plaza Twin theatre. As an usher in those days, I carried a flashlight to help people get to their seats in the dark and asked people not to smoke in the front of the theatre. I saw The Omen around 60 tiimes and remember we showed two terrible sensoraround movies – Midway and Rollercoaster. They played the original Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster. I worked the non-movie events including various wrestling and boxing shows and an extravaganza that featured Andre the Giant vs. Mohammed Ali!
I recall one of the ushers “steaking” (running naked) down the aisle of theatre number 2 in the days when “streaking” was a fad. I found condoms and other things behind the huge mesh screen.
Most of the staff and managers were very close with one another. Great times. Paul W
