Ann-Margret, Pam Grier, ‘Knots Landing’ Reunion & More Fun From the Hollywood Show (Photos)
The January 2025 Hollywood Show, which took place in Burbank, California, welcomed some of the biggest and brightest stars of the past, including Ann-Margret, Malcolm McDowell, Pam Grier, Knots Landing favorites Donna Mills and Joan Van Ark, Stefanie Powers and so many others. While the event organizers, a small team of compassionate and dedicated marketers (this isn’t some big national company), agonized over the continuance of the show after the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area — in the end they decided that the show must go on and opened the doors on Jan. 10 and 11 to thousands of enthusiastic fans.
Take a look at a few of the stars and people we met at the show.
Pam Grier
Jackie Brown and Coffy star Pam Grier, who is now 75, stunned in Western attire. In a new spin on traditional celebrity autographs, we got Pam’s signature on a Martha Reeves and the Vandellas 45 (Martha also happened to be at the show).
Ann-Margret
At 83 years old, Ann-Margret continues to delight fans of all ages. The Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas star definitely had the longest autograph lines at the show.
Ann-Margret had many beautiful pictures to select from for autographs. We saw many people bring their own keepsakes, too, ranging from posters to guitars.
If you’re going to meet Ann-Margret, why not be a standout? This fan sure was with his themed shirt.
Kathy Coleman
Land of the Lost star Kathy Coleman signed a fan’s lunchbox.
Knots Landing Reunion
Some of the ladies of Knots Landing — Donna Mills, Joan Van Ark and Kathleen Noone — were there to greet their fans and sign autographs. You can read more about their panel here.
Rae Dawn Chong
Rae Dawn Chong is the daughter of comedian Tommy Chong, but she has made her own mark in the industry, starring in movies such as Commando and The Color Purple. Most recently, she appeared in the Interview With the Vampire TV series.
Martha Reeves
Singer Martha Reeves loved ReMIND!
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas’ merch table was chock full of classic photos of the Motown singer.
Stefanie Powers
Hart to Hart star Stefanie Powers had plenty of photos to choose from, along with items from her beloved, late partner William Holden. Proceeds from those sales benefitted the William Holden Wildlife Foundation.

Ryan Cassidy
Ryan Cassidy and author Johnny Ray Miller show off the book they wrote together: James Cagney Was My Babysitter.
High School Reunion!
Joely Fisher, Ryan Cassidy, Alison Martino of Vintage Los Angeles, Nancy Cohen and Frankie Montiforte had a mini class reunion at the show, as they all went to Beverly Hills High School together.
Malcolm McDowell
Malcolm McDowell, star of A Clockwork Orange and Cat People, as well as many other films, signed autographs at the Hollywood Show 2025.
Fans could purchase a signed copy of a Clockwork Orange script for $80. Other items on McDowell’s merchandise menu included signed Kubrick masterpiece blu-ray sets, books, posters, glossies, stickers and more.
Michael Fishman and Jeremy Miller
Former child actors and childhood friends Michael Fishman (Roseanne) and Jeremy Miller (Growing Pains) had a surprise meetup that we happened to witness.
Bongo the dog
There weren’t just human celebs and fans at the Show — many dogs were in attendance, too! This little guy, who is named Bongo, was one of the late Peter Marshall’s rescue dogs and was there to raise awareness for the Doris Day Animal Foundation.
Elvis was in the building
Elvis tribute artist Shaun Hughes (aka Shawnvis) came down from the Bay Area just for the festivities. And, of course, to meet Ann-Margret.
Cowboy Club
In 1996, seven friends teamed together and founded the non-profit Western Film and TV appreciation organization, the Reel Cowboys. Now the non-profit organization has grown to 100 members who meet twice a month. Every year The Reel Cowboys produce their annual awards banquet, The Silver Spur Awards, which honor members of the entertainment industry who have portrayed the stories of the West in movies and TV.
Vanguard Hollywood
