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.
