The Oscar nominated actress and filmmaker has purchased the Highland Theatre, located at 5604 N. Figueroa St, a 100-year-old venue that closed in spring 2024. She confirmed the news to Architectural Digest for a feature story and photo shoot that captured her posing above the marquee.
“I didn’t realize I was looking for a theater until this place came to my attention. Then it was like a gunshot went off and the race was on. I ran toward it with everything I had,” she told Ad. “I’m fascinated by broken-down old theaters. I always want to see what mysteries they hold.”
Opened in 1925 and designed by Lewis Arthur Smith — an architect credited with designing the Vista Theatre in Los Feliz, El Portal in North Hollywood, and Rialto in Pasadena — the theater was among the Los Angeles casualties of a post-pandemic marketplace.
