Pencil This In: Wednesday
TEEVEE
If you’re a fan the David Boreanaz-Emily Deschanel sexual tension on FOX’s Bones, then you’re in luck. The two co-stars as well as other cast members and crew are appearing at the Paley Center tonight to talk about the show.
7 pm // Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills // 465 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills // $25.
TALK*
Listen to Stephen Hawking (in real life!) as he talks about the black hole as a door to a different universe. Theories abound that the black hole’s ability to warp time can also lead to time travel. Hawking, though his body has been relegated to a wheelchair because of ALS, remains one of this (and last) century’s greatest minds. There are only 500 seats in the auditorium, so get there early.
8 pm // Beckman Auditorium @ CalTech // 332 S. Michigan Ave., Pasadena // Free but get there REALLY early.
WORDS
Judith Freeman, author of Raymond Chandler: The Long Embrace and the Woman He Loved, talks about Chandler’s private life and the role that his wife Cissy Pascal played in his career. Her lecture will be accompanied by dozens of vintage photographs.
7:30 pm // The Hollywood Heritage Museum in the Lasky-DeMille barn // 631 W. 2100 N. Highland, Los Angeles // $5-$8.
