Margaret Bach
Title
Founding Director of the Los Angeles Conservancy
Bio
Documentary filmmaker, historic preservationist, writer, interior designer: Margaret Bach wove her interest in film, history, architecture, and the built environment into the pattern of her life work. In the 1970’s she worked on the restoration and historic designation of the Horatio West Court, made the documentary film, Landscape With Angels, received her MFA from UCLA, worked at KCET on the LA History Film Series, and worked at LACMA producing a film series showing how movies have portrayed Los Angeles.
When the City of Los Angeles planned to sell the Bertram Goodhue- designed Los Angeles Central Library, Margaret worked on the LA AIA report, “The Light of Learning,” a history and defense of the Library. Out of the effort to save the Library, the Los Angeles Conservancy was founded. Margaret was both a founding member and, in 1978, its first president.
