Lowell was a sculptor who lived around the block from me until his kiln exploded killing him and burning down his house. I think this occurred back in the 70&#8217;s. His house was never re-built and the foundation is still there covered with graffiti, it was used as a location on the Echo Park film <em>Mi Vida Loca<\/em>. Lowell also did sculptures for a movie starring Vincent Price called <em>Diary Of A Madman<\/em>. Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmforno.com\/?p=353\">link <\/a>to my earlier piece about Lowell.If anyone has any information they&#8217;d like to share please write in, I&#8217;ve had one person ask about getting a sculpture repaired and if Lowell had any children that were now sculptors but alas I don&#8217;t know. Here are some images that Mr. Becken sent to me of Lowell&#8217;s work.<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-mrs-howard-m-1.jpg' title='lowell-grant-mrs-howard-m-1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-mrs-howard-m-1.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-mrs-howard-m-1.jpg' \/><\/a><a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-1.jpg' title='lowell-grant-1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-1.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-1.jpg' \/><\/a><a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-2-1.jpg' title='lowell-grant-2-1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-2-1.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-2-1.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-4.jpg' title='lowell-grant-4.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-4.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-4.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-the-reimer-fa.jpg' title='lowell-grant-the-reimer-fa.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-the-reimer-fa.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-the-reimer-fa.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-5.jpg' title='lowell-grant-5.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-5.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-5.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant.jpg' title='lowell-grant.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant.jpg' alt='lowell-grant.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-folder-2.jpg' title='lowell-grant-folder-2.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-folder-2.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-folder-2.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-ruby-petersen.jpg' title='lowell-grant-ruby-petersen.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lowell-grant-ruby-petersen.jpg' alt='lowell-grant-ruby-petersen.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guy named David Becken wrote to me, seeking information on Lowell Grant.
