Stars, Snapshots and Chanel

Experience the 1970s and 1980s social scene on America’s Riviera through high fashion and photographs by Beverley Jackson.

As the News-Press social columnist, Jackson made the rounds of Santa Barbara’s most glittering events beginning in 1968. A talented photographer, she preserved our community’s social whirl through her column “By The Way,” which documented philanthropy- a driving force in our city. Her stories of celebrities, royalty, authors, artists and local personalities, as they came together to celebrate Santa Barbara, remind us that our city is a legend unto itself.
