Marlene (1933-1989) was a Michigan native who moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s and became a Los Angeles historian and architecture enthusiast. At the time of her death from cancer, Marlene was working on a Master of Urban Planning degree at UCLA, and was an interviewer for UCLA's Oral History program.; Title supplied by cataloger; The highest resolution available for this image is 300 dpi.

Behind the Art Deco theater at 8440 Wilshire, is the headquarters for Great Western Savings, which later became the Flynt Building. Located at 8484 Wilshire, the elliptical office building was designed by William L. Pereira and Associates and completed in 1973.
