STAGE NOTES
…Among the props in the Laguna Playhouse's forthcoming production of "Social Security" is a highboy donated by none other than Bette Davis. The furniture piece, in the playhouse prop collection for years, was selected for the production before the film star's death.
"We needed something exactly right, and it was exactly right," said artistic director Douglas Rowe.
Davis' mother and sister were longtime residents of Laguna Beach, and Davis herself lived there for a short period in the late '50s.
Davis raised the first $25,000 to build the Moulton Theatre with a reading of works by Carl Sandburg in the Irvine Bowl. [1961, I believe]
