Historian and novelist Robert Rosenstone will debut his new novel ‘Red Star, Crescent Moon: A Muslim-Jewish Love Story,’ with a reading on Saturday, September 11, from 4 to 6 p.m. at his home in Pacific Palisades. The reading will take place at 5 p.m.   The novel is set in Spain against the vibrant and colorful background of a women’s film festival, the seductive activities of a movie star, and the actions of terrorists who wish to reclaim that country for Islam. Told in multiple voices, the novel confronts some of the major cultural and political dilemmas of our time, creating a world of characters caught in webs of historical misunderstanding. Embedded within the story is a meditation on the meaning of the past, how we depict and remember it, how our histories shape us, how traditions at once create and limit our identities and our feelings for other human beings and cultures. Accompanying the reading will be a photographic exhibition, ‘Pilgrimage in Al Andalus,’ by Rosenstone’s wife, Nahid Massoud, who provides a visual recollection of her husband’s research for the book in Andalucia, Spain. Rosenstone is a professor of history at Caltech and the author of a dozen books of history, criticism, memoir and fiction. Massoud, a native of Kabul, Afghanistan, came to America on a student visa in 1977 and was given political asylum in the U.S. after the Soviet invasion endangered her family, all of whom later escaped to the U.S. She directs Sharq, an art space at her home devoted to contemporary works by artists from the Middle and Far East. Please RSVP by visiting sharqart@verizon.net or calling (310) 454-6826. Rosenstone will also read and sign ‘Red Star, Crescent Moon’ on Thursday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Village Books, 1049 Swarthmore Ave.

Greenfield’s Focus Is on Us

Long before ‘mean girls’ became part of the popular lexicon and Paris Hilton had exhausted her 15 minutes, photographer and documentary filmmaker Lauren Greenfield was focused on the peculiarities of modern-day youth culture. In 1997, she published her first book, ‘Fast Forward,’ an award-winning collection of photographs documenting the fast-track trajectory of kids growing up in Los Angeles under the inescapable influence of Hollywood. Five years later, she released ‘Girl Culture,’ probing even more deeply into the subject of self-image and the often detrimental sway of popular culture, this time exclusively as it related to females in cities everywhere in the U.S. Prints from both these series are in the current J. Paul Getty Museum exhibition ‘Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography Since the Sixties,’ on view through November 14. Many of the photographs in this major exhibition, from Philip Jones Griffiths’ 1971 ‘Vietnam, Inc.’ series to Sebasti’o Salgado’s enormous ‘Migrations: Humanity in Transition’ project, bear witness to faraway places, with unsettling close-ups of war and poverty.   ’Lauren Greenfield turns the lens back onto us,’ says Brett Abbott, associate curator of photographs at the Getty, who consciously chose the first gallery to display the ‘we are they’ quality of her photos. ‘This is a subject people can relate to immediately.’ Because visitors enter and exit through this first gallery, Abbott hopes the route encourages them to consider how Greenfield’s work fits into the larger tradition of documentary photography. It’s no accident, for instance, that selected images from Mary Ellen Mark’s famous 1988 ‘Streetwise’ series, an unflinching look at runaways in Seattle, hang nearby. Like Mark’s groundbreaking work, Greenfield’s sociological study of adolescent culture is at once fearless and intimate, harsh and poetic.   Thirteen-year-old blondes preen precociously in the mirror while applying makeup before attending their seventh-grade party in Edina, Minnesota, leaving little doubt about their fierce social ambition.   A three-year-old in a tutu lounges comfortably on a couch in Barney’s shoe department in Beverly Hills, as if daydreaming about all the material goods in her future.   A young girl sits passively next to a pool at a Fourth of July party, the post-operative bandage on her nose looming almost as large as the balloons surrounding her. Another girl appears in profile in the foreground’are we to notice her ‘perfect’ nose?   The vivid hues in these photographs contrast sharply with the colorless tone in another picture that depicts a woman being weighed at an eating-disorders clinic in Coconut Creek, Florida. So distraught by the idea of any gain, she mounts the scale backward, giving us full access to her apprehensive face.   At a weight-loss clinic in the Catskills, the soulful eyes of a 15-year-old gaze into the camera with the mystique of a modern-day Mona Lisa, despite the ironic presence of the word ‘Sugar’ emblazoned on her T-shirt.   Though the subject matter may seem disparate, all the photos speak to the influence of popular culture on how we live, and the extremes that girls will go to meet the expectations of our consumer society.   Having grown up in Los Angeles, the 44-year-old Greenfield, who attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica, knows these tendencies firsthand.   ’I was’thinking about my chronic teenage dieting, my gravitation toward good-looking and thin friends for as long as I can remember, and the importance of clothes and status symbols in the highly materialistic, image-oriented Los Angeles milieu in which I grew up,’ she wrote in an introductory essay for ‘Girl Culture.’ Elsewhere in the essay she elaborates: ‘Understanding the dialectic between the extreme and the mainstream’the anorexic and the dieter, the stripper and the teenager who bares her midriff or wears a thong’is essential to understanding contemporary female identity.’ Greenfield graduated from Harvard in 1987 with a degree in visual studies and anthropology. She began her career as an intern for National Geographic, photographing assignments abroad.   ’I drew a lot from that experience,’ she said during a recent phone interview from her home in Venice, where she lives with her husband and two sons. ‘I learned how to use photography to tell a story, not just as a way to illustrate a writer’s story.’   She also learned that looking at the exotic was not her thing in terms of subject matter. ‘I’m influenced very much by people like Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand, photographers who could make us see things anew by focusing on the everyday world.’   The everydayness Greenfield sought out was in Los Angeles, where she returned in 1992 to document the world she was brought up in. ‘People mistook the ‘Fast Forward’ series as an indictment of Los Angeles,’ she said. ‘It was never meant to be that, although L.A. is the bellwether of popular culture.’   She points out how the things that were controversial about her Hollywood project at the time wouldn’t be at all today. ‘These days, there’s a lack of self-consciousness about money and consumption,’ said Greenfield. ‘That is a cultural shift. People weren’t talking about things like that then.’   As the title of the exhibition ‘Engaged Observers’ suggests, Greenfield said she possesses no pretense about objectivity in her work. This is particularly true as it relates to ‘Thin,’ her third landmark photo series that evolved into a full-length documentary film she directed in 2006. ‘I had intense and close relationships with these women; trust was very important,’ Greenfield said of the experience documenting how obsession with body image leads to mental illness.   In her most recent documentary, ‘kids + money,’ Greenfield returns to a familiar theme. The award-winning 2008 film examines the spending habits of Los Angeles teenagers from all walks of life, including interviews with teens in Pacific Palisades.   The film will be screened in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium at The Getty Center on Sunday, September 6 at 1 p.m., followed by a presentation and Q&A with Lauren Greenfield.   The Getty Center is located at 1200 Getty Center Dr. in Brentwood. Parking is $15. Contact: (310) 440-7300 or visit www.getty.edu.

Peter Schoettler, 44; Musician and Scholar

Peter Carl Schoettler, a musician, scholar and law student who lived in Pacific Palisades, died peacefully at Cedars-Sinai Hospital on August 20, after a four-year battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 44.   Born July 31, 1966, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Peter had been a professional musician for 25 years, playing French horn mainly in the New York City area. He held degrees in music from the Juilliard School and a Ph.D. from New York University. An outstanding and versatile musician, Peter excelled both in the classical music world and on Broadway; he also transcribed the Renaissance madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo for brass quintet (for his doctoral dissertation).   Peter was currently attending Southwestern Law School with the goal of becoming a tax lawyer. He brought the same talent and passion to his new career, earning a full scholarship for his studies and becoming president of the Tax Law Society and organizer of Southwestern’s VITA program. He was a member of the Law Review and received a summer clerkship offer from the prestigious law firm, Sheppard Mullin Richter and Hampton.   Peter was loved by everyone he met and was visited in his final days by friends whom he had made in childhood and while in school at Juilliard, as well as current friends and teachers from Southwestern.   He was a loving husband to his wife, Nina Evtuhov; a devoted son to his mother, Eugenia Volz; and a joyful father to his daughters Alexandra (Sasha), 6, and Clara, 4. He will be greatly missed by all.   In lieu of flowers, a check can be made out to Alexandra or Clara Schoettler and sent to P.O. Box 131, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, for use in their education fund.

Sam Wasson Discusses ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ Book Here Friday

Author Sam Wasson, who grew up in Brentwood.

Sam Wasson discusses and signs his book ‘Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.,’ subtitled Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman,’ on Friday, September 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Village Books, 1049 Swarthmore.   Published by HarperCollins, the book details the making of the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s,’ starting with Truman Capote’s novel upon which the screenplay was based. Unlike many tedious Hollywood books, Wasson’s book flows, carefully intertwining the development of the movie with insights into flawed real-life characters that were larger than life.   The 1961 movie, directed by Blake Edwards, starred Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard and Patricia Neal, with fashions by Edith Head and Hubert de Givenchy, and music (‘Moon River’) by Henry Mancini.   Critics across the country have rewarded Wasson, a 28-year-old Brentwood native who graduated from Harvard-Westlake, with well-deserved accolades, and his book made the New York Times bestseller list.   Yet why would Wasson, who graduated from Wesleyan University in 2003 and the USC School of Cinematic Arts 2006, be interested in this ‘old’ movie?   ’Two years ago, I wrote about Blake Edwards (‘A Splurch in the Kisser: The Movies of Blake Edwards’),’ Wasson told the Palisadian-Post. ‘There wasn’t a lot about ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ out there, so I thought it would be easy to write about.’   He started to retrace the steps of the production and interview as many people as he could, and suddenly, ‘there I was in the middle of the book.’   The movie took Capote’s book, which was deemed too racy to serialize in magazines, and recast its main character, Holly Golightly, who was a call girl in the novel, as a likeable free spirit. During the ’50s, young women in movies were clearly delineated as good (virgins) or as bad (those who weren’t).   ’There was something in the movie that appealed to women,’ Wasson said. ‘I had a suspicion but didn’t quite know what I was looking for. ‘   Capote had originally wanted Marilyn Monroe to play the lead role, but Wasson reasons that if Monroe had starred, the movie would not have had the same effect as using Hepburn, who was all wide-eyed innocence (portraying the good/bad girl). Wasson argues that the film is significant because it was at a time in the nation when sexual liberation for woman was in its infancy.   Wasson’s book is a fun read that takes all of the players and recounts their part in the making of the movie. One reviewer wrote, ‘Recapturing an era, this evocative ‘factual re-creation’ reads like carefully crafted fiction.’   Thanks to his book’s critical acclaim, Wasson has been interviewed on numerous radio shows and by national media, but he made a point to appear at Village Books.   ’Many of my friends grew up in the Palisades,’ he said. ‘My bookstore growing up was Dutton’s [now closed]. I believe in supporting independent book stores.’   He was thrilled when ‘Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.’ made the best-seller list, admitting, ‘I was anxious to get onto the next project, but was so grateful that this book was well received.’    Wasson’s next book, on director Paul Mazursky (‘An Unmarried Woman’), is set to come out next year. ‘His movies are undervalued and should be reconsidered and reappraised,’ said Wasson, who lives in Venice and New York, and is currently working on a biography of Bob Fosse.   ’I love Fosse as a man, an artist, and his philosophy of life. I wanted to meet everyone who worked with him.’

Cars Parked Longer than 72 Hours on Street Face Towing

If you live in Pacific Palisades and you’re going away on a trip, beware about leaving your car parked on the street in front of your house. The City of Los Angeles has been enforcing its 72-hour street-parking ordinance with fines and towing.   If a resident has parked a vehicle on a public street, it must be moved every 72 hours or be subject to a possible fine and towing, according to Bruce Gillman, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.   ’This rule is enforced citywide, and often a citation and/or tow is the result of a neighbor or business calling it in,’ Gillman wrote in an e-mail to the Palisadian-Post. ‘We recommend if people go out of town they secure their vehicle in the driveway or a parking garage. When a car is ticketed and then sits with the citation visible for a few days, it’becomes obvious a 72-hour period has passed, hence the ‘flag’ that the vehicle is now subject to towing.”   Haldis Toppel, president of the Marquez Knolls Property Owners Association, provided a vivid example of this enforcement in an e-mail to members of the association. She quoted a’Marquez’Knolls resident’who had’written to her about her car being towed:”   ’I have just been to the UK visiting my mother who had a heart attack,’ the resident wrote. ‘Two days before the end of my trip I received a call from my husband, who had gone to Las Vegas for two days, to say he had a call from our house sitter to say our car had been towed from outside our house. A parking ticket arrived on my car and then the car was towed. The incident caused my husband to have to cut his trip short to come to retrieve the car.   ’My last two days with my mother were spoiled because I was anxious about the car and angry at what had happened. It took me numerous phone calls to the LAPD from the UK to find out where my car was.’The tow and parking ticket cost us around $350,’ the resident reported.

Pacific Palisades resident Diana Maiman received a phone call from Honorary Mayor Gavin MacLeod on Monday afternoon, announcing her as the winner of the Village Green’s fundraising raffle.   Maiman and seven friends and family of her choosing will be served a free dinner catered by Tivoli Caf’ on Village Green, a privately owned park in the heart of the community. Alden Marin, a wine merchant, has donated wine for the dinner, which will take place on an agreed-upon date later this month.   Violinists and twins Avery and Alexandra Morris will provide entertainment before the dinner begins, and Village Green board members will be servers for the evening. Avery and Alexandra are members of the Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute at Crossroads School and studying with Alexander Treger, co-concertmaster of the L.A. Philharmonic. Their parents are Jeffery Morris and Patricia Kovic of Pacific Palisades.   The Village Green raised $4,377 from the raffle, and all the proceeds will be used to pay for landscaping, maintenance and liability insurance for the park, said board president Marge Gold, who came up with the idea.   ’I knew that we needed to generate some income for the park, and I wanted to do something fun,’ she told the Palisadian-Post.   Village Green board members sold the raffle tickets for various rates (i.e., $25 per ticket, $50 for three tickets, $75 for five tickets and $100 for seven tickets) six Sundays at the farmers’ market on Swarthmore. This past Sunday, they gathered on the Green dressed like servers to sell tickets. They stood behind a table covered with a white tablecloth, decorated with candlesticks and displaying a sign designed by board member Fred Zolan that read ‘Picture Yourself Here.’ Zolan, owner of Running Images Printing, donated all of the printed materials for the raffle.   ’People were amazingly generous,’ Gold said, noting that in all, the group sold about 235 tickets to approximately 71 people and received 15 outright donations. ‘It was a wonderful effort.’   On Monday at the Village Green, MacLeod drew the lucky winner’s name from a plastic jar in front of Gold and her husband, Bob; Village Green supporter Lee Calvert; and board members Chris Van Scoyk, Arnie Wishnick, Joan Graves and her daughter Amanda Graves.   ’I was shocked to hear that I won the raffle,’ said Maiman, who has lived in Pacific Palisades for 15 years. ‘I think it is super; I only bought one raffle ticket.’   Maiman bought her ticket from Marice McCrory-Irwin of Michelle International, who was selling the tickets because Graves is a client. The winner says she is putting together a list of potential dinner guests, but will definitely invite her husband, Steve (owner of Stony Apparel) and McCrory-Irwin.   ’We’re happy to support the park,’ Maiman added, noting that she and her 7-year-old son used to while away the time there when he was a baby.
