Julie’s father, Joe Ackerman, moved to Glendale in the 1940’s and started collecting autographs and celebrity photos that he took himself over several decades, amassing a huge collection. For the past 10 years, the collection has resided at the Hollywood Museum and is considered one of the greatest autograph collections in the world.
Julie will tell the story about her father and share images from his collection, including several black-and-white pictures that have never been published before of the stars. The Golden Age of Hollywood Through the Lens of Joe Ackerman was a 15-year project that started as a collaboration between Julie and her mother, Marian Ackerman, after Joe’s passing. This is a rare look into the Golden Age of Hollywood through Joe’s camera lens.
