White Front

was a chain of discount stores in Southern California and the western United States from 1959 through the mid-1970s. They were noted for the architecture of their store fronts which was an enormous, sweeping archway with the store name spelled out in individual letters fanned across the top.The name White Front was said to refer to the practice of lining up appliances like washers, dryers and stoves in front of the store, giving it a “White Front.” Another feature of each store was that each had a separate key booth located in the parking lot.

The company was founded in 1929 in Los Angeles. In April 1959, the then two stores were acquired by Interstate Department Stores, Inc., which expanded the chain to other California locations and broadened its retail mix beyond the original house wares. In September 1960, Interstate also acquired Topps, which at the time had ten stores [beyond California]. For several years, White Front was the leading discount store in the United States.

In 1973 the company made an abortive attempt to expand into Oregon at the Mall 205 in Portland, Oregon. A television ad campaign to introduce the store featured Allen Ludden of Password fame (most store openings were promoted by Hollywood stars). The Portland store failed largely due to complications with coordinating sale ads printed in Southern California with deliveries of the advertised merchandise to Portland. Frustrated by being unable to get advertised specials after a long drive to the suburban store, customers stopped coming, numerous complaints were filed, and the store finally closed.

White Front entered the Seattle/Tacoma market of Washington State in 1969. Five stores were built in high-traffic areas in Burien, Tacoma, north Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett, but were all closed by about 1972. White Front was said to have left the Seattle market “while the paint was still drying in the parking lot stalls.” The local media as well as businesses, government agencies, and community leaders would play on that as well as calling the stores eyesores and a waste of space since each store had a large footprint (150,000 square feet). Some also pointed it out as a flawed attempt to “Californianize” the area, which might have led some local residents not to shop at the stores. Due to the struggling economy of the “Boeing Bust” of the late 1960s and early 1970s and the exodus of people leaving the area, it would take some time before new ownership was found for some of these vacant buildings.

from Brie:

Junk! If you bought a black & white television there, the knob would come off in your hand, when you got home.

Used to get my clothes there –made Robert Hall look good!

The Pacoima store also had 3 balls (perhaps symbolic of a pawn shop) on top of the front arch, through which you entered the store, which really looked like a giant funnel!

The first White Front store was destroyed during the historic Watts riot of 1965.

I remember seeing a closed White Front store in Oakland, while riding the BART.

Also, Jayne Mansfield

and the Canadian Beatles opened the White Front store in Sacramento!

The amazing Patty Duke was mentioned previously in this blog.

However, there was another Patty!

“According to Las Vegas Weekly, the [Liberace] museum,

which exhibited the jewelry, pianos, garish gowns and other artifacts owned by the great pianist, has fallen victim to the economy.

At its peak, the museum rivaled the Hoover Dam as one of the state’s most popular tourist attractions, bringing in more than 400,000 visitors per year. Liberace Foundation Board of Directors Chair Jeffrey Koep informed the staff last week all full and part time positions will be eliminated October 17.”

I visited there about 5 years ago. After which i went to the nearby “Blueberry Hill” coffee shop for a waffle washed down with black coffee. Really old song “Anna” on the jukebox. Is that the fab four? Yes! From an old vee jay album no doubt.  At one time (that would be the seventies) Liberace and Elvis were the biggest entertainers in Vega$.

Sultry “Patricia Neal (January 20, 1926 – August 8, 2010) was an American actress of stage and screen. She was best known for her roles as World War II widow Helen Benson in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), wealthy matron Emily Eustace Failenson in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), and middle-aged housekeeper Alma Brown

in Hud (1963), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.”


In 1949 Her appearance  in The Fountainhead coincided with her on-going affair with her married co-star, Gary Cooper. By 1952, Neal had starred in The Breaking Point,  and Operation Pacific, starring John Wayne. She suffered a nervous breakdown around this time, following the end of her relationship with Cooper, and left Hollywood for New York, returning to Broadway in a revival of The Children’s Hour, in 1952. She also acted in A Roomful of Roses in 1955 and as the mother in The Miracle Worker in 1959. In films, she starred in A Face in the Crowd (1957).”

“Julie Kavner (born September 7, 1950) is an American film and television actress, comedian and voice artist. Noted for her role as Marge Simpson on the animated television series The Simpsons.

Born in Los Angeles, Kavner grew up in Southern California. Known for her improvisation and distinctive voice, Kavner was cast in her first professional acting role as Brenda Morgenstern

in Rhoda in 1974. Following Rhoda, Kavner was cast in The Tracey Ullman Show, which debuted in 1987. The Tracey Ullman Show included a series of animated shorts about a dysfunctional family. Voices were needed for the shorts, so the producers decided to ask Kavner to voice Marge. The shorts would eventually be spun off into The Simpsons.


Kavner has been described as “nearly reclusive”; part of her contract says that she will never have to promote The Simpsons on video.”

“Joan Crawford (March 23, 1905 – May 10, 1977), born Lucille Fay LeSueur, was an American actress in film, television and theatre. Starting as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting on Broadway, Crawford was signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. Initially frustrated by the size and quality of her parts, Crawford began a campaign of self-publicity and became nationally known as a flapper by the end of the 1920s. In the 1930s, Crawford’s fame rivaled MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hardworking young women who find romance and financial success. These “rags-to-riches” stories were well-received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood’s most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money and by the end of the 1930s she was labeled “box office poison”.

After an absence of nearly two years from the screen, Crawford staged a comeback by starring in Mildred Pierce

* (1945), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.”

“Bette Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989) was an American actress of film, television and theater. Noted for her willingness to play unsympathetic characters, she was highly regarded for her performances in a range of film genres; from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies, though her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.


After appearing in Broadway plays, Davis moved to Hollywood in 1930, but her early films for Universal Studios were unsuccessful. She joined Warner Bros. in 1932 and established her career with several critically acclaimed performances.  Until the late 1940s, she was one of American cinema’s most celebrated leading ladies, known for her forceful and intense style. Davis gained a reputation as a perfectionist who could be highly combative, and her confrontations with studio executives, film directors and costars were often reported.

Davis was the co-founder of the Hollywood Canteen, and was the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, was the first person to accrue 10 Academy Award nominations for acting, and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. Her career went through several periods of eclipse, and she admitted that her success had often been at the expense of her personal relationships. Married four times, she was once widowed and thrice divorced, and raised her children as a single parent. Her final years were marred by a long period of ill health.


Baby Jane Hudson

is a fictional character and the antagonist of Henry Farrell’s 1960 novel What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? She was portrayed by Bette Davis in the 1962 film adaptation.”
