DONN BEACH
(1907 - )
Donn Beach, greatly-admired and greatly imitated restauranteur, describes the early
experiences, including a voyage to Australia, that
led to his lifelong interest in the South Pacific
area.
Mr. Beach reminisces about his years in
Hollywood in both the movie and restaurant
industries, and his military service during World
War II. He shares anecdotes about many well-known
personalities he has met throughout the years.
Perhaps best known for his restaurants,
Mr. Beach has also served as a consultant for
resort development and has devised a number of
visitor attractions for many tourist areas,
including Waikiki's famous International
Marketplace.
