Betty O'Meara, a beloved figure in Malibu, operated the Malibu Cinema for two decades. Known for her hospitality and distinctive warmth, she created a gathering spot for the community amid a town full of newcomers. Famous personalities frequented the cinema, making it a social hub. Tragically, O'Meara was one of the casualties of January's wildfires, having refused to evacuate. Her friends and family remembered her as a small but mighty force of positivity, with an aura that attracted people around her.
Understated, gracious and quietly beloved, O'Meara was one of at least 29 people killed in January's wildfires.
O'Meara's impact on her world was inversely proportional to her size. She stood 4 feet 10, at best, but regularly boosted herself over the 5-foot mark.
Betty O'Meara's signature was a resolute brand of hospitality, blossoming with friends and pen pals at the beloved Malibu Cinema.
She was so full of energy. Positive energy, most of all. She attracted people like an electric current
