DICK MILLER TO RECEIVE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AT CINECON

[miyasaka]

Dick Miller, one of the most beloved and iconic character actors of the past half-century, particularly for his many appearances in classic Roger Corman films, will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 43rd annual Cinecon, the world’s oldest film festival devoted exclusively to classic motion pictures. Dick’s award will be presented by his frequent director and close friend Joe Dante at the gala awards banquet on Sunday, Sept. 2nd at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood.

Also receiving awards will be three other actors with significant genre credits: John Saxon, Piper Laurie and Alan Young.

Although you may attend just the banquet, I strongly encourage you to register for the full conference as well. Over two dozen extremely rare features will be screened, all but one in 35mm, as well as nearly a dozen shorts (including three chapters of the 1941 Columbia serial THE IRON CLAW). If you love old movies of any stripe, you won’t want to be anywhere else Labor Day weekend.
