Rona Barrett to Appear in Los Angeles
Press Release
DVD-Signing and Q&A with Iconic Celebrity Journalist
LOS ANGELES — March 19, 2009 — For Immediate Release — Iconic celebrity journalist Rona Barrett will share stories – anecdotes and insights about Hollywood then and now – and sign copies of her newly released DVD, Rona Barrett’s Hollywood: Nothing but the Truth, at an in-store appearance in Los Angeles.
Long before paparazzi pursued celebrities, celebrities pursued Rona Barrett. Aside from moving into a 90210 zip code and invites to glam parties, stars knew they had it truly made when “Miss Rona” knocked at their estate door. In addition to magazines and numerous TV specials that bore her name, she has been a regular contributor for Good Morning America, The Today Show and Entertainment Tonight, among others.
What: Rona Barrett Appearance, Q&A and DVD Signing
When: Wednesday, March 25 @ 7:30 p.m.
Where: Barnes & Noble at The Grove at Farmers Market
(Fairfax & Third) / Store Phone: 323-525-0270
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Barrett is a true pioneer and innovator who left the television studio to conceive the “coffee klatch” style now embraced by other top journalists. When the famous (and infamous) opened up their homes to Barrett, the cameras faded to the background and they were with an old friend.
Interviews included on Rona Barrett’s Hollywood: Nothing but the Truth are just some of Barrett’s personal favorites from her private archives, including Cher (Recently seen on Entertainment Tonight as “The Lost Cher Interview”), Priscilla Presley, Raquel Welch, Robin Williams, John Travolta, John Wayne, Donna Summer, Burt Reynolds, Richard Dreyfuss and Carol Burnett.
One dollar from each DVD sold will be donated to the Rona Barrett Foundation for the Elderly Poor, which assists senior citizens who are unable to afford or obtain assisted living care.
