Tenacious “T”: Filmmaker Ondi Timoner And Family Rebound After L.A. Wildfires Destroy Their Homes


Filmmaker Ondi Timoner and her brother David are rebounding after their homes were destroyed in the L.A. wildfires.

When family patriarch Eli Timoner suffered a debilitating stroke in 1982 – at the height of his business career as Air Florida, the airline he founded in Miami, was flourishing – it was mom Lisa who rallied the spirits of their children – Rachel, Ondi, and David. As the family coped with the devastating loss from the fires, they reassembled earlier this month in Miami, where the Timoner kids grew up (only Rachel, who is a rabbi in New York, couldn’t be present; she is currently on sabbatical, traveling in South America). The film, exploring the friendship and rivalry between up-and-coming rock bands The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, is considered one of the greatest music documentaries ever.
