Greg Laemmle
Yes, Greg Laemmle is related to Carl, the movie pioneer and founder of Universal Pictures. But he is\u2014more to the point\u2014the third generation owner of Los Angeles\u2019s celebrated Laemmle Theaters chain. The history of this business and how it narrowly survived the pandemic is the subject of Raphael Sbarge\u2019s documentary Only in Theaters, which is still making the rounds of film festivals. (Leonard appears in it as an interviewee.) When it comes to running a movie theater, there is very little that Greg doesn\u2019t know and he speaks with the easy authority of a veteran. Leonard and Jessie are among his many loyal customers.
