Hollywood, Ca, May 28, 2008 — Protector. Hero. Friend of Hollywood. The legendary Robert Nudelman, who passed away suddenly on May 3 in Tucson Arizona, was all this and more to a community of preservation-minded lovers of Hollywood. Dubbed the “Tinseltown Gadfly” by the Los Angeles Times in 1992 for his relentless perseverance in attempting to save historic Hollywood, he was respected, loved and revered for his honesty, integrity, kindness, impish wit, and phenomenal knowledge of Hollywood history, architecture and preservation issues. A past president of Hollywood Heritage, at the time of his death he was the Director of the Hollywood Heritage Museum in the Lasky DeMille Barn; Hollywood Heritage Director of Preservation Issues; Vice President of the Society for Cinephiles/Cinecon Classic Film Festival; and working with Debbie Reynolds and her son Todd Fisher for her Hollywood Motion Picture Museum, soon to open in Tennessee.
Countless tributes to Nudelman have poured into newspapers and preservation-themed websites. His friends and colleagues are still stunned at the suddenness of his passing at age 52, with the cause of death as yet undetermined. A “Celebration of Life” to honor this irreplaceable activist, archivist and historian will be held on Thursday June 12th from 6-8 p.m. at the Music Box Theatre at 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.
