Film History & Vintage Fashion Lectures
Overview
I do lectures for senior citizens about film history and vintage fashion. I cover a variety of topics including Hollywood scandals, musicals, film noir, westerns, Hollywood during WWII, Los Angeles historic restaurants and movie star homes. I also do entire lectures on the life and films of Hollywood stars. Some of my past lectures have covered Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Rock Hudson and many more!
During lectures I wear clothing from the 1920s to the 1950s and try my best to evoke Hollywood's past.
My clients include several Belmont Village Senior Living, Calligraphy Westwood Village, Villa Gardens of Pasadena and The Village at Sherman Oaks.

About
Born a heterochromatic baby (put down the medical reference book - it means she's got two different colored eyes) with the last name "Bible" on Halloween night, Karie was destined to be nothing if not unique. Her passion for history and Hollywood's past led her to starting a cemetery tour in 2002 under the guidance of historian Marc Wanamaker. In keeping with her love of living history, she gives the tour in vintage gowns from her collection that spans the 1920s through the 1950s.
Karie has lectured at The Old Town Music Hall, The Queen Mary, The Homestead Museum and is also a "Lady in Black" to honor silent film star Rudolph Valentino.
She hosts the Youtube show Hollywood Kitchen where she makes recipes attributed to Hollywood's Golden Age and interviews family members, historians and experts.
Karie has appeared in segments for Turner Classic Movies, CNN, History Channel, Travel Channel, the PBS series "World's Greatest Cemeteries" and "Lost L.A.". She co-authored the book "Location Filming in Los Angeles" with historians Marc Wanamaker and Harry Medved and co-authored "Hollywood Celebrates the Holidays" with Mary Mallory.
