The Crest was originally designed by architect Arthur W Hawes and opened in December 1940 as the Westwood Theatre a live theatre commissioned by Frances Seymour Fonda (mother of Peter and Jane Fonda) It was taken over by the independent circuit Dietrich amp Feldstein and became a movie theatre re-named UCLAN Theatre after the initials of the nearby UCLA The UCLAN Theatre was later renamed Crest Theatre in the mid-1950s

It was renovated by the owners Sterling Recreation Organization in May 1983 and reopened as the Metro Theatre on June 3 1983 with new seats 70mm projection and Dolby sound

By the summer of 1988 Cineplex-Odeon were operating the building and it was renamed Crest Theatre Pacific Theatres were the next operators and in conjunction with the Disney Organization a complete renovation was carried out by theatre interior designer Joseph Musil who had worked on the restoration of the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood The auditorium walls were decorated with a of Hollywood landmarks in an Art Deco atmospheric style made even more spectacular by the clever use of black-light effects In the ceiling a star system was installed and when the show starts

a lsquoshooting starrsquo flies across the ceiling of the theatre and explodes in a little shimmer of stardust as the screen curtains open

The program consisted of mostly Disney titles throughout the 80s as locals will recall

Robert Buckbaum a lifelong fan of movies who made his living running a box office data firm called ReelSource bought the theatre in January of 2003 and renamed it the Majestic Crest Theatre In 2008 the City of Los Angeles designated The Crest a Historic-Cultural Monument

Some years later in September 2010 it was taken over by Carmike Cinemas and then in April 2011 Bigfoot purchased the theatre until it was closed in early October 2011 for renovations It was finally reopened in July of 2013

In the time since its reopening The Crest has hosted film amp music festivals comedy shows charity events birthday celebrations live dance shows and red carpet premieres The unique interior intimate size and impeccable acoustics are some of its hallmarks Adjacent to the UCLA campus it is centrally located between Hollywood and Santa Monica
