AmyGrant-Christmas-webAmy Grant will be honored at Lights, Cameras...Stars! Holidays Hollywood Style, a holiday exhibition at The Hollywood Museum honoring iconic celebrities who have made Christmas a significant part of their careers.

The exhibit opens Thursday, Nov. 13, with a special ceremony and cocktail party. Amy Grant’s “Christmas career” will be one of the highlights. She has recorded four Christmas albums, hosted two Christmas television specials and toured with the Nashville Symphony several times.

Other stars to be showcased at this year’s holiday extravaganza include Karen Carpenter, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Perry Como, Nat King Cole, Vera Ellen and Mel Torme. “Tyrone Power: Man, Myth and Mayhem” also will be premiering that evening, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Tyrone Power.

Bob Pranga, better known as “Dr. Christmas …Tree Stylist to the Stars” is decorating for the museum and this event.

“Because all of these stars have been at the very heart of our Christmas experience, this provides a great opportunity for families to come and experience the magic of Christmas with a little Hollywood glitter. Because everyone loves the holidays, and everyone loves Hollywood, it’s a perfect combination,” Pranga said.

The Hollywood Museum, the official museum of Hollywood, has the most extensive collection of Hollywood memorabilia in the world. The museum also showcases the history of Hollywood and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
