One of the exhibits will feature typewriters previously owned by Ernest Hemmingway, George Bernard Shaw and Andy Rooney, among others, Damavandi said.
Guests will have the opportunity to use the typewriters by making donations that will benefit Malibu High School and the Emily Shane Foundation, a local nonprofit.
