Board of Trustees Film Series:
This film is presented as part of our Board of Trustees Film Series. In 1971 Norton Simon married Academy Award–winning actress Jennifer Jones.

In honor of the Museum’s 50th anniversary, enjoy a series of films selected from the extraordinary creative output of some of those trustees. Presented on select Friday evenings from May to July.

This program is free with admission. No reservations needed. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the screening.
