- **Event Name**: The Heart of Hollywood: Honoring the Legacy of the Motion Picture & Television Fund
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Hollywood Heritage Museum, in partnership with the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) and the Mary Pickford Foundation, presents The Heart of Hollywood, a special exhibition honoring the history and enduring mission of the MPTF, an institution that has supported members of the entertainment community for more than a century. Through photographs, archival materials, and videos, The Heart of Hollywood traces the Fund’s evolution; from its silent-era origins to its present-day role supporting actors, craftspeople, writers, directors, crew members and countless behind-the-scenes professionals.

On view June 20 through August 2, 2026 in the Victoria Horne Oakie and Jack Oakie Gallery at the Hollywood Heritage Museum, the exhibition not only highlights MPTF’s more than 100-year legacy of care, community, and compassion in the entertainment industry as well as artifacts from their archives not normally on view to the public. Some of the featured items include personal mementos of silent film Some items on display will be available to purchase via MPTF to benefit the organization’s ongoing mission. The Mary Pickford Foundation continues to honor Mary’s wishes by donating her personal mementos to raise money for the organization, and others from the entertainment industry have followed that example by also donating memorabilia to help raise money for MPTF. On preview during the exhibit, these items include crew jackets, crew gifts, movie posters, awards and more!

Founded in 1921 as the Motion Picture Relief Fund, the organization was conceived by silent screen legend Mary Pickford, alongside industry leaders including Joseph M. Schenck and Reverend Neal Dodd, to provide assistance to members of the motion picture community facing illness, financial hardship, or personal crisis. At a time when few social safety nets existed, the Fund was created from a simple but profound belief: that those working in the entertainment industry should support one another in times of need.

Over the decades, the Motion Picture & Television Fund has grown into one of Hollywood's most respected charitable institutions, providing financial assistance, healthcare services, social support programs, residential living, and compassionate care for thousands of entertainment industry professionals and their families. MPTF is the only organization in history to receive the Academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, presented at the 93rd Oscars® ceremony in 2021.

Few institutions are more closely tied to Hollywood's history than the Motion Picture & Television Fund. The very artists and craftspeople whose stories are preserved at the Hollywood Heritage Museum, many of whom walked through the doors of the Lasky-DeMille Barn during their careers, have relied upon the Fund's assistance during times of illness, hardship, and retirement.
