Hollywood Canteen Site To Be Razed
Hollywood plans to raze the Legrand Theater once home to the Hollywood Canteen, a wartime haven for GIs. Opened in 1943, it hosted stars like Lana Turner and Joan Crawford, with Bette Davis and Jules Stein founding efforts. After three years of nightly entertainment and a postwar charity legacy, the site is being demolished as a new chapter closes.
