Hollywood And The Oscars Come To Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

By: Jim Scherrer

Since the filming of “The Night of the Iguana” with Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, and Deborah Kerr in 1964, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with its scenic Sierra Madre and Pacific Ocean coastline, perfect winter climate, and proximity to the US and Canada, has been a favorite vacation destination for Hollywood celebrities and dignitaries.

This past week was no exception as Lori Anderson-Scherrer, a longtime resident of Vallarta, hosted her annual Oscar party at her magnificent hillside villa in Conchas Chinas, “The Beverly Hills of Vallarta”. Lori, a former actress/model in her own right, entertained distinguished guests from around the world including Gerry & Janie Goraieb, Bob & Tina LaFlamme, Pina Carlini, and as a special guest, Diane Mountford from Hollywood.
