This semester, the Jones Collection is celebrating Hollywood star and Oak Cliff native Linda Darnell as well as our good friend and donor Jeff Gordon with the exhibition Linda Darnell: From Dallas to Hollywood — Selections from the Jeff Gordon Collection. Now is the perfect time to learn more about Jeff and Linda, and it is always a good time to watch some classic movies.
