Black Dahlia 60th Anniversary Lost Weekend
Sixty years ago next week, an obscure yet lovely young woman named Elizabeth Short became the first and most grisly victim in a series of unsolved woman killings that terrorized post-war L.A. Her bisected body, abandoned in a trash-strewn field in Leimert Park, became the obsession and inspiration for thousands of cops, true crime fanatics, visual artists, writers and filmmakers. From January 11-16, the anniversary of Elizabeth Short's captivity and murder, downtown L.A. will host a series of startling events inspired by the crime and its eternally fascinating victim, including screenings, art exhibitions, readings, live cabaret and Crime Bus tours.
