Majestic Crest Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in Westwood, Los Angeles, US
The Majestic Crest Theatre features a 460-seat auditorium with walls decorated by detailed dioramas depicting Hollywood landmarks from the 1930s.
Frances Seymour Fonda funded the construction of the theater in 1941, which initially operated as UCLAN Theatre before changing ownership multiple times.
The theater shifted from newsreel screenings during World War II to foreign films and avant-garde productions by emerging Hollywood directors in the 1950s.
Following its 2018 acquisition by UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance, the theater underwent renovations to accommodate both film screenings and live performances.
The auditorium ceiling incorporates a star system that creates moving light effects, including a simulated shooting star before each performance.
