I have some of my earliest memories at the FOX Redondo. My mother used to take us there, and I remember that I saw Walt Disney’s “Blackbeard The Pirate” there, aslo “Swiss Family Robinson”.
As a young teen, I can remember, also getting snuck into the back door, by either my brother, or a friend, so we could save the 75 cents for popcorn.
It was a very sad day for Redondo Beach when the FOX closed it’s doors permanently.
I’ll never forget that beautiful “Mermaid” mosaic that was over the front doors. Also, I recall there was a drive to save the mosaic, and last I heard it had been kept somewhere in storage, to be restored in some new location. Does anybody know what ever happened to it?
By the way, O.C.,
I remember the great 60’s & 70’s television personality, Tom Frandsen. Any relation of your’s? Also, back in the early 70’s I went to a church on Grant Ave. where Tom’s son also attended.
