Nimoy Theater
Movie theatre in Los Angeles, California
About
The Nimoy Theater, formerly known as Crest, Majestic Crest and Bigfoot Crest Theatre, is a movie theatre located in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It was founded as the UCLAN in 1941, and was built for live performances but switched to a newsreel cinema during World War II. Through ownership changes, it has been known at various times as UCLAN Theatre, Crest Theatre, and Metro Theatre. The original 500-seat art deco style theater was designed by Arthur W. Hawes.
In October 2018, UCLA acquired the theatre, extensively renovated it, and reopened it in September 2023, renamed after Leonard Nimoy.
