According to a press release from the theatre, the historic Doolittle Theatre near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine will be renamed the Ricardo Montalban Theatre, at an opening night gala in tribute to the star.

Montalban, who founded the organization Nosotros in 1970 to benefit the images of Latinos in the performing arts, will appear at the unveiling of the new façade and fundraising tribute. He will be joined by family, friends, government officials and celebrities as well as fans.
