Celebration of life for famed mountain lion P-22 set for Greek Theatre today
P-22 -- the late, beloved and resilient L.A. mountain lion who famously crossed two major freeways and became known as "The Hollywood Cat" -- will get another star turn Saturday when the National Wildlife Federation's #SaveLACougars campaign hosts a sold-out celebration of his life at the Greek Theatre.
While Wildlife Federation officials have not released the list of Saturday's participants, Nadia Gonzalez, a spokesperson for the group and for the event, said it will feature speakers, musical performances and video tributes. One speaker who did confirm his participation is Rep. Adam Schiff, D- Burbank -- one of a trio of local congressional representatives who called Friday for the creation of a postage stamp to honor the famous feline.
They're calling for a stamp depicting P-22 in front of the Hollywood sign -- a nod to that landmark's 100th anniversary. He was believed to be about 11 or 12 years old, making him the oldest cat in the NPS' study of Southland lions. Likely born in the Santa Monica Mountains, P-22 somehow found his way to his tiny, nine-square-mile home in Griffith Park, separated from his birth area by two of the busiest freeways in the world.
