Omaha film historian Bruce Crawford is bringing another classic movie screening to the Joslyn Art Museum this spring. Crawford's 42nd tribute to great, classic cinema will feature the 1979 Ridley Scott sci-fi thriller Alien. For the screening, Crawford will bring one of the movie's stars to town to speak before the screening.
Special guest Veronica Cartwright, who played navigation officer Lambert, will be on hand to tell fans about the making of the iconic movie. Crawford tells NewsRadio 1110 KFAB he's looking forward to bringing Crawford in for the screening. "She's been in so many great films. 'The Right Stuff,' 'Witches of Eastwick,' 'X-Files' on television, Hitchcock's 'The Birds' and she's unforgettable in Alien." There will also be a meet and greet session with Cartwright where fans can get an autograph.
The screening will be at 7:00 PM on Friday, May 25th at the Joslyn Art Museum. Tickets for the event are on sale now for $24 and can be purchased at the customer service counters of all Omaha area Hy-Vee stores. Tickets are not sold by the Joslyn Art Museum.
