By 1968, the Tiffany was hosting live performances by the improv troop, The Committee, featuring future celebrities Howard Hessman, Peter Bonerz and Rob Reiner.

In the days before home video rental, the Tiffany became known for showing quality prints of classics like MGM musicals and other vintage titles, while also showcasing a variety of rock films.

The Tiffany often took advantage of these conditions, showing many rare revivals of 3D movies including Dial M for Murder, House of Wax and Kiss Me Kate.

That same summer, the Tiffany was the only theater with the original, uncut, version of Rocky Horror including the then scarce “Super Heroes” ending.

[7] The Tiffany was legendary in its day for the over-the-top audience participation, which included a real-life hopeful transsexual, Garrett Gafford, appearing in the pre-show cast as Frank N Furter.

Rocky Horror stars Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon each came to the Tiffany in the late '70s and signed the movie's permanent one sheet in the theater's lobby.

Other local celebrities were spotted at midnight shows as well, including Jane Fonda, David Carradine, Ann Robinson, Steve Vai, and even Captain Kangaroo himself, Bob Keeshan.

Cooper let go of the theater, and it was announced that it would soon be converted into a “legitimate theater.” The Tiffany closed its doors after its final midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on March 13, 1983.

The Tiffany was ready to reopen in June, 1985 as two separate 99-seat live theaters, though there was a several month delay due to a conflict with Actors Equity.

[11] Once the Union's issues were resolved, the Tiffany became an active home for small, but respected, performances, featuring some well-known or soon-to be famous cast members.

[12] In 1999, there was talk of moving the theater across the street as part of a re-development plan for the entire block, though "The Sunset Millennium Project" was postponed for many years.

[14] On August 26, the Tiffany's historic sign letters were part of an archival rescue by Tommy Gelinas of Valley Relics Museum and Alison Martino's Vintage Los Angeles preservation group.

Jason Relic Hunter removed the sign with the help of a crew of volunteers, while a small group of the theater's former patrons gathered to watch.
