Actor Robert Davi, June Lockhart and other stars join SoCal Journalists for some holiday cheer


     SPJ LA Holiday party in Beverly Hills, CA

About 75 freelancers, newspaper editors, magazine writers, TV and radio newsman huddled in Beverly Hills this week to kick off the holiday season. Among the guests  was long time award-winning actress June Lockhart, RTNA Board of Director (Lost in Space (1965), (General Hospital (1963)Lassie (1954), which I just saw on TV in syndication, and Petticoat Junction (1963)
(L-R) Frank Mottek, host KNX, Robert Navi, June Lockhart, and
George McQuade at the SPJ LA holiday party in Beverly Hills, CA.














But one of the most recognizable faces in TV dramas that date back to the late 1970's and on the big screen was 
Robert Davi, a native New Yorker. 

He's been in so many TV drams, but on the screen my favorites were  James Bond, 
Die Hard (1988), Profiler (1996), Licence to Kill (1989)Davi told this writer he's singing a different tune this holiday season, literally in the name of charity - The Salvation Army.

 He just cut an album of tunes just in time for the holidays, songs made by the original legendary songmaster of "New York, New York" singer Frank Sinatra

Davi will sing the tribute to Frank Sinatra,  an event he is billing as “Mistletoe Tuesday”, December 13th. Davi is donating his proceeds from his Capitol record downloads on Amazon and iTunes for "O' Blue Eyes."
                      Navi is also busy singing and performing in Las Vegas.

Greater Los Angeles chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists event was likely the first time in a long time where many reporters and editors were not under deadlines and could actually come up for air to take that one minute vacation.
The festive holiday party took place in the heart of Beverly Hills. Many were tweeting and snapping shots outside on the sidewalk enjoying the wonderful holiday atmosphere of Via Rodeo.
Inside McCormick & Schmick’s on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, across the street from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel everyone celebrate holiday cheer catching up with old friend and activities.
The party included generously served hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, mini desserts and a cash bar.  The event was quite initimate and conversations buzzed for a couple of hours. If you have a communications, celebrity charity or industry event drop us note. You never know when we will bring our camera, too.
