February Literary Luncheon speaker MaryAnn Bonino discussed her recent book, The Doheny Mansion: A Biography of a Home. In this clip, recorded in the Intellectual Commons at the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library, she describes the Doheny family's passion for education and collecting rare books.
Edward and Estelle Doheny were prominent philanthropists whose legacy includes many of the the Los Angeles--and university--institutions we take for granted.
