In another part of the city, meanwhile, the Beverly Hills Creative Arts Temple has decided it's going back to the future to thank military families by reviving the famous Hollywood canteen.
The canteen, started by Bette Davis and others on Cahuenga Boulevard, was a fixture in Hollywood during World War II as a place where soldiers and sailors on leave could get a sandwich and a cup of coffee while mingling with stars who volunteered by waiting tables, cooking and entertaining the estimated 3 million soldiers who dropped in.
Led by Creative Arts Temple members Jeff Cutler and Joann Roth-Oseary, the revived canteen will open its doors to serve lunch to 1,200 vets who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan (or any other U.S. wars) and their families at noon Sunday at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration building.
This time the celebrity draws are actors Jon Voight and James Caan.
