 “We are just so thrilled to have been chosen to display this incredible collection at The Hollywood Museum and present it to the public- I’ve been a fan of The Pointer Sisters for years. We have a very exciting and fun presentation planned out for this unique experience... we are not holding anything back!”, said Donelle Dadigan

“I kept almost everything I wore on stage through the years. If it weren’t for my grand daughter Roxie McKain, our Project Manager, all this would still be sitting in storage... it took her team along with our Creative Director, Melissa Simpson, about two years to catalog everything and I am so proud of all the hard work we have accomplished- it’s a very exciting and fun exhibit, with lots of live videos, posters, jewelry, vintage merchandise- even a disco floor!... it’s all there!” , said Anita Pointer

For the first time ever this impressive volume of collectibles targeted for audiences of all ages will be on display and open to the public exhibiting on the entire 2nd floor of the Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building on Hollywood and Highland, starting
