And in retrospect it’s fun to take note of how the Penguin is vastly different from Mickey Goldmill, who’s vastly different from V.C.R. Cameron, who’s vastly different from Henry Bemis. He was one of the truly gifted actors of our time, and seeing an 80-something Burgess Meredith waddle across the stage at a screening of the 1966 Batman movie in 1989 is something I’ll never forget. While it would be considerably easier for me to list my LEAST favorite villains, listing my MOST favorite villains proved to be a bigger challenge. So, for the first time ever in 13th Dimension history (I think), we have A 13-WAY TIE!! They’re ALL my absolute, top favorites for their own special reasons. When Dan asked me to list my 13 favorite Batman 1966 villains, it was a bit like being asked to rank your favorite children.

While the newer versions of the mask are from the same molds, (yes, they’re still being sold today!) the quality of plastic isn’t as good as it was in the ’60s. The masks added an eerie sense of threat in an indescribable manner. The gift shop will also be open during your visit to the museum. The museum also gives tours, visiting the homes, murder sites, and graves of deceased celebrities both notorious and beloved, from Manson to Marilyn. The tours, while macabre, are deeply researched journeys given by lifelong aficionados.

Once in a while, silent films are shown, and special events called “Evenings at the Barn” feature speakers and screenings, both of which are open to the public. In 1985, it finally found a permanent home, near the Hollywood Bowl. Today, it’s a museum, full of archival photos, menus, props, and even a recreation of DeMille’s office, complete with typewriter, film canisters, movie posters, and booze. In 1914, before Hollywood had a large footprint of permanent studios, filmmakers shot their pictures by repurposing other buildings as sets. It soon became the center of operations for the Jesse L. Lasky Company, which was filming a motion-picture version of the play The Squaw Man.

It's been a labor of love for O'Connor, who bought the house several years ago and renovated it. This is Idea House 3, a new iteration of the Walker museum gift shop, which closed during the pandemic. Idea House 3 was inspired by the museum’s Idea House concept of the 1940s, which displayed modern design and contemporary art. Across from Clark, the Walker’s director of business development, is Asli Altay, the Walker’s director of design programming. She leans against a faux fireplace enveloped in orange carpet, framed by an ice-cast bronze fireplace screen designed by the Chicago-based Steven Haulenbeek. It looks like a hundred roses melted together in a molten flash.

It was the home of the Curtis brothers in The Outsiders—now after several years of work, it’s a museum celebrating a story that has touched countless lives. Director Francis Ford Coppola shot the film in Tulsa with a young cast of future A-listers, including C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Tom Cruise. The Outsiders House Museum was created by Danny Boy O'Connor, formerly of the hip-hop group House of Pain.

Jasper street, right next to it, is also the place of Dally’s demise. Other locations such as the Circle Cinema, Will Rogers High School, and the Admiral Twin Drive-In are also prominent filming locations in the city. Walk on the ground where many great actors got their start and visit with the museum director and longtime fan of the novel and movie, Danny Boy O’Connor. Be sure to get a photo by the bent fence railing out front; rumor has it that Swayze bent it trying to do the flip over it on the way to the rumble.

There is currently a discounted price for school field trips. Ideally, we hope to eventually have a low-cost or no cost program in place. The Outsiders House Museum is working to secure sponsorship or grant funding that will make it affordable for all students to experience the museum. On August, 9, 2019, Danny Boy O’Connor, C. Thomas Howell and S.

In 1983, The Outsiders was released, featuring a cast of young, talented actors who would go on to become household names. The museum includes film memorabilia, including furniture, photos, posters and the leather jacket worn by Dillon's character, Dallas Winston. In the early ‘80s, Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola came to Tulsa to catapult S. E. Hinton’s memorable characters from her best-selling novel, "The Outsiders," onto the big screen. The filmmaker and crew transformed an ordinary Tulsa neighborhood into a fully-functioning movie set. We are excited to offer student tours in support of the educational mission of The Outsiders House Museum.

As operations boomed, the business outgrew its wood-frame confines. As they moved around Hollywood, and expanded their real estate holdings, they brought the barn with them. By 1926, it had been hauled to a back lot on Melrose Avenue, where Paramount would be building new studios. In the late ’70s, it was firmly out of commission, and was loaded up onto a truck and hauled to a parking lot. Cecil B. DeMille knew that this barn would make a great addition to the film, the first feature-length movie to be produced in Hollywood. At that point, the barn sat a number of blocks away, near Sunset and Vine.

A plaque will be dedicated at Tulsa’s Circle Cinema, with remarks from O’Connor, Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, and California librarian Jo Ellen Misakian, among others. Before he embarked on the project, he hadn't been sure what he was going to do next, having plowed through most of his savings. As progress continues toward opening The Outsiders Museum, each day has brought some fun surprises and spreading goodwill – celebrity drop-ins, author S.E.

Please be mindful of our neighbors, as we are located in a residential neighborhood. We also have a lot on the property, but it only holds five vehicles. The modest white bungalow with a wide front porch was used as a central set in the 1983 film “The Outsiders,” which was based on S.E.

Sadly, the dark edge that fueled Sanders’ performances as a multitude of villains was all too tragically evident in his real life. This article is part of our Museums special section about how institutions are striving to offer their visitors more to see, do and feel. Artifacts at Dearly Departed, Hollywood’s death museum, include funeral programs, posters, pictures, kitsch, and souvenirs from L.A.’s glitzy and gruesome history.

The museum also includes memorabilia from the film set, including furniture, photos, posters and the leather jacket worn by Dillon’s character, Dallas Winston.

In 2009, while on tour, O'Connor had a three-day layover in Tulsa and decided to explore the locations of the film, where he rediscovered the house. Afterwards, he would continue to visit the location on a regular basis, and bought the house in 2016.
