Aloha Wanderwell, The World’s Most Widely Traveled Woman

Heather Linville, a film preservationist at the Academy Film Archive, has been working with the collection of nitrate that Aloha donated to AMPAS in 1985; for this illustrated lecture, she’ll be present, along with Aloha’s grandson Richard Diamond and researcher Jessica DePrest, to relate Aloha’s dramatic life and fabulous adventures. Music by Shari Cummings. Special thanks to the Richard Diamond Trust.
