About
Designed in the art deco style by architect Charles Lee, the Wilshire Theatre was originally named the Fox Wilshire when it opened in 1930. The former movie theater hosted gala events such as the premiere of "How To Marry A Millionaire" in 1953. Marilyn Monroe was among the luminaries who attended the screening, which also starred Lauren Bacall. Renovated in 1981, the house is now a stage venue hosting plays, concerts and religious services.
