For its eorts, the archives received a generous
donation from JC Backings of MGM's scenic
paint research collection consisting of photos,
notebooks and ephemera; making the ADG
Archives the world's most comprehensive center
for the study of Hollywood scenic painting.
Finally in 20, the scenic paint community was
doubly blessed with a frontpage article in the
LA Times by Puliter awardwinning ournalist
Mary McNamara, followed by an Oscars' day
story on CBS's Sunday Morning program.
