“Louella Parsons Day” was held on Sept. 14, 1941, in Dixon, Illinois. Parsons was the original movie gossip columnist. Syndicated by Hearst, her column appeared in more than 400 newspapers. She was known as the “Queen of Hollywood” and was a very influential voice in Hollywood. Amazingly, she grew up in Dixon, Illinois, which also was the hometown of Ronald Reagan. They came back home for a special day in 1941, and brought along other Hollywood stars including Bob Hope and Joe E. Brown. Both of these 2 inch celluloids are from that big day in Dixon history. The Reagan pin is excellent, Parsons pin has a few tiny spots. You get them both together in this lot.
