Former Beverly Hills Courier columnist George Christy passed away Aug. 11 at the age of 93. The “George Christy page,” replete with full-length images of glamorous gowns, celebrity parties and movie premieres, was a popular feature in the Courier from 2006 to 2019. Prior to his tenure with the Courier, Christy wrote “The Great Life” column for The Hollywood Reporter (THR) for 26 years
Former SVP and Group Publisher of THR and Billboard, Lynne Segall, shared a social media posting with the Courier, in which she noted that Christy “covered everything from the Italian Regatta Boat Races to dinners with the head of Bulgari. From movie premieres and Swifty Lazar’s Oscar parties to coverage of books and food, no one wrote a more interesting column with the greatest photos. George never took notes and had a steel trap memory,” said Segall.
