            "Greeks of Hollywood" Exhibition Less than *10 hours* to
support an important part of Greek American history

Our Kickstarter campaign to raise $15,000 to digitize a significant
collection of Greek-related Hollywood memorabilia, posters and
photographs *ends
tonight at 10pm C.S.T.*

With *7 hours* to go and already *$5,925 raised*, we have seen incredible
support from our community - but we need your help to make this dream a
reality.

This collection tells the story of how Greeks have profoundly impacted
Hollywood - and we want you to help us share it with the world.

>From the early years of Vaudeville, when impressario Alexander Pantages
built shining theaters throughout the nation, to Theda Bara who first
brought the sultry Cleopatra to the big screen, or Spyros Skouras who is
credited with saving Hollywood through his introduction of Cinemascope, *the
Greek impact has been, and continues to be, great.*

Our goal is to bring these stories to the world and make them accessible.
Right now, much of these materials are in dusty archives, university and
research centers and museums– largely inaccessible to the general public.

A donation of just $10 will be thanked with a name listing on our gallery
wall - forever.

see the Kickstarter appeal and help us.
* Share it with your social networks and let your friends know that you are
a proud supporter.
