He served two terms from 1993-2001 — during the O.J. Simpson criminal murder trial and a 'Hollywood Renaissance' — and had an impact on the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Riordan also was mayor during the 1994-95 O.J. Simpson criminal murder trial that riveted L.A. and the world.
“Mayor Richard Riordan loved Los Angeles and devoted so much of himself to bettering our city,” Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. “He always had a place in his heart for the children of L.A. and worked to improve how the city served our youth and communities as a passionate member of the Los Angeles Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners.”
His legacy, she added, includes the downtown Central Library, “which he saved and rebuilt and which today carries his name.”
