Devour these celebrity sketches

The Hollywood Brown Derby was famous for two things: Cobb salad and celebrities. After a while, it was also known for the caricatures that ended up virtually covering its walls. Not until they had eaten under the gaze of these famous sketches could visitors sense that they were really in the world capital of glamour.

Thirty-five of the drawings by artist Jack Lane, whose works hung in the Derby from 1947 until it closed in 1987, are currently on exhibit at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum, a block west of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. About three-quarters are accompanied by Lane’s memories of the subjects.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, Lane will appear at the museum to share more memories of Hollywood in the days of Doris Day, Cary Grant, William Powell and Bette Davis. The exhibit runs through June 7.
