The American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre and Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival will present an evening celebrating the tenth anniversary of the award-winning film “Real Women Have Curves.” The screening will include special guest Josefina López, the creator of the play and co-screenwriter of the film “Real Women Have Curves” which stars America Ferrera, Lupe Ontiveros and George Lopez. López will kick off the evening by signing copies of her book, “Real Women Have Curves And Other Plays.” The book signing will be followed by a screening of the film, after which there will be a Q&A with López, director Patricia Cardoso, producers Marilyn R. Atlas and Effie Brown and cast members Ingrid Oliu, Soledad St. Hilaire, Julia Vera, Sandie Torres, and others. The screening will be a tribute to the late actress Lupe Ontiveros (Sept. 17, 1942 – July 26, 2012).

A highlight of the evening will be the announcement by López of a new scholarship she is establishing in memory of her late friend and colleague Ontiveros.

The book signing will be at 6:30 p.m. followed by the screening of the movie at 7:30 p.m., then the Q&A.
