Bill Kurtz, grandson of Wilbur G. Kurtz, Georgia's preeminent artist-historian, will present “Wilbur G. Kurtz: Technical Advisor to Hollywood.” He will tell the story of his celebrated grandfather’s friendship with Margaret Mitchell and his contribution to the filming of Gone With the Wind, Song of the South, and The Great Locomotive Chase.
Among the many contributions of Kurtz, Sr. was his supervision of the restoration of the Cyclorama painting in the 1930’s. In the 1940’s he also served as a consultant for the establishment of the Little White House Memorial to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Warm Springs, Georgia.
Come to the Old School History Museum’s Sunday lecture series and hear Bill Kurtz tell these and other stories of his celebrated grandfather Wilbur.
