Stefanie Powers to Introduce 
‘Damien: Omen II,’ 


 As a Halloween-time movie treat, “Damien: Omen II”, starring 

“South Pasadena’s own” William Holden, will be screened free in 

the Library Community Room on Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. 

Actress Stefanie Powers will be on hand to introduce the film and 

deliver a personal tribute to Holden, who she lovingly remembers 

in her memoir “One from the Hart” which will be available for 

purchase at a signing table. Besides William Holden, “Damien: 

Omen II” also stars Lee Grant, who won a Best Supporting 

Actress Academy Award for her role in “Shampoo” (1976). In 

1953 William Holden won the Oscar for Best Actor “Stalag 17”, 

and by 1956 he was the top box office male actor in the United 

States.

 “Damien: Omen II” (1978) was a popular supernatural horror 

follow-up to “The Omen” (1976), a huge box office hit. As the 

sequel begins, a pair of anthropologists discover an ancient crypt 

that depicts the face of the son of the devil, a 6 year-old boy named 

Damien.

 Stefanie Powers began her career at age 15. She has appeared 

in 31 motion pictures, co-starring with such screen legends as 

John Wayne, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Bing Crosby, Glenn 

Ford, and Sammy Davis, Jr. Her first television series, “The Girl 

from U.N.C.L.E.,” marked a milestone as the first hour long 

TV series featuring a female in the leading role. Her television 

career includes over 25 mini-series, over 200 episodic guest star 

appearances, 35 movies for television and two more television 

series, “Feather and Father” and the long running “Hart to Hart,” 

starring opposite Robert Wagner.

'Pathways to Art' 

– Street Sign Sale
SPEF and the South Pasadena 
Arts Council (SPARC) are 
teaming up to sell 300 local 
retired city street signs. This 
joint project, “Pathways to Art,” 
will raise money to advance the 
arts within our community, such 
as SPARC’s utility box initiative 
and funds for an SPUSD 
Visual and Performing Arts 
Coordinator. These signs were 
generously donated to SPARC 
by the South Pasadena City 
Council.

 Signs are $100 per sign and the 
cost of shipping is not included. 
If you need to have a sign 
shipped please let us know.

Please note: The signs are not 
in pristine condition, reflecting 
the character of their years 
of service, and sold as is. All 
sales are final. The city’s sign 
replacement will be an ongoing, 
three-year process, so as new 
signs become available this list 
will be updated.

 If the street you are interested 
in is not on this list please contact 
Stacey Petersen at spetersen@
spef4kids.org or call the SPEF 
office at 626-441-5810 ext. 1163. 
We will give you a call as soon as 
your sign becomes available.
