I remember Beverly Hills [videorecording] / by Ilene Segalove. [1980]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664313919

In this video art piece, the artist recounts her adolescent years growing up in the wealthy and exclusive city of Beverly Hills, California during the 1950s and 60s. She narrates personal anecdotes and historical tales to accompany images of her home town. The video becomes a behind-the-scenes tour of a community that represents the epitome of the celebrity lifestyle. Sagalove uses sentimentality and satire to showcase the excessiveness of status symbols and social expectations in Beverly Hills.
