Inland Valley in Movies: April 2011 Archives
My Sunday column is about the two movies that Elizabeth Taylor is known to have filmed in part in the Inland Valley: "The Sandpiper" in San Dimas in 1964 and "Sweet Bird of Youth" in Upland in 1989.
The photo at left of Taylor and Charles Bronson is taken from the Poly Post's coverage of "The Sandpiper" filming, which took place at the Pomona college's San Dimas campus.
For posterity's sake, below you can find thumbnail views of 1964 articles from the Pomona Progress-Bulletin (Oct. 1) and the Poly Post (Oct. 2) about "The Sandpiper" and two 1989 articles (April 30 and May 12) from the Ontario Daily Report about "Sweet Bird of Youth." Click on the thumbnails for a large, readable view.
And a shout-out to Bruce Guter and Allan Lagumbay of the Pomona Public Library and Gena Sizoo of the Upland Public Library for finding and scanning the articles for me.
