I am in the Hollywood Heritage organization and yesterday I got the devastating news via e-mail that Robert Nudelman had passed away.  This man was instrumental in preserving Hollywood landmarks.  He had a vast knowledge of preservation, including the legal and political issues involved.  He loved film history and really cared so much about keeping the past alive.  Many years ago I lived in a rough area of East Hollywood and I was at a neighborhood crime watch meeting.  I was rather shocked to see Mr. Nudelman there.  I don’t think he even lived in the area.  He was there to see what was going on and what was going to be done.  He was THAT hands on and concerned about everything.  One of our members said that Mr. Nudelman should have been the replacement for Johnny Grant because NOBODY cared about Hollywood as much as he did!  I agree. This is a terribly sad day for Hollywood and Robert Nudelman was irreplaceable.  I only hope now that the rest of us in Hollywood Heritage will be able to keep up his fight to save our historic buildings.  It will be 10,000 times more difficult without his expertise, but we owe it to his memory to keep up the fight.  It is what he would have wanted. http://www.filmradar.com/karies_blog/item/a_devastating_loss/
