hether you are a loyal reader or this is the first issue you’ve ever seen, you are important to us.

Years ago, when we first began promoting all the good things about Hollywood, we surveyed people who were visiting for the first time. That’s when we discovered what people wanted was information about our town. They knew there was more to Hollywood than footprints in concrete and stars on sidewalks. Discover Hollywood was born.

With each quarterly issue, we follow our mission to inform visitors and residents about the unique culture and lore of Hollywood. Many years ago, there was a hit TV show with a tag line “There are a million stories in the Naked City.” That’s Hollywood. We have 100 years of stories with more being created each day. For those of us who live and work here, that is something we love about this fascinating place. For our visitors, it’s what they know is here beneath the surface and sometimes inaccessible without a guide.

If I could, I’d take each of you by the hand to show you the Hollywood I know and love. Since that’s not possible, we fill our pages with what to see and do and leave the stories up to my writers.

In this issue, you’ll learn about the Woman’s Club and the role it played in the early cultural life Hollywood written by noted author and now president of the club, Rosemary Lord. Celebrate a milestone with James Bartlett as he gives you a tour of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel still lively and going strong at 90. Each year something new is added to the scary and fun activities at Halloween. Annette Semerdjian takes us on a night tour of Paramount and other dark places that uniquely celebrate Halloween.

Discover Hollywood has been appearing in your mailbox four times a year since we expanded to a quarterly publication in 2006. We want to hear from you. Maybe you have a story you think our readers would enjoy; I love to get pitched. If our magazine enhanced your visit and gave you some insight into this town, I’d love to hear from you. If we’ve omitted a historic site or (perish the thought!) have our facts mixed up, let us know.

We love you. You’re the reason we do what we do. Let’s get to know each other better.

Haunted Hollywood H ollywood attracts many people looking at sidewalk stars or footprints in concrete. is time of year, ghosts of Hollywood’s past can be found at Paramount Studios, Hollywood Forever and the Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park as well as the infamous Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.

To some, it is the old Celtic tradition of Samhain, others, the time when the veil between the human and spirit realms is the thinnest, but to most, it is the yearly celebration of Halloween.

As the spirit of Halloween beckons to you like Stephen King’s It clown, Pennywise, Hollywood is booming with even more attractions than the usual “scene.” Like Old Twelfth Night, people from all walks of life come together to celebrate and create a fantasy outside of their everyday selves. What better place to bring that spirit to life than diverse and lively Hollywood?

Paramount Studios has one of the most vibrant and eccentric histories in Hollywood. e reason celebrities are even referred to as “stars” is because of the original 24 stars above the iconic Paramount depicted all 24 of their actors. Paramount Tours has the perfect experience for movie buffs and fans of Hollywood history. is time of year, Paramount adds its After Dark Tour, which incorporates the fun, fact-filled stories of the regular tour

The Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park takes you through four “zones of terror,” and is frequented by creepy clowns.

but with a dark twist. It also shares its lot with the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which is the resting place of the stars behind some of Hollywood’s most notorious and unsolved stories and featured in the tour. e After Dark Tour caters to those who want to know the darker side of the industry and the real horror stories behind the people who still haunt the studio lot. It begins with an introduction to some of the history while having champagne to toast the last bit of glitz and glamour in the industry before the After Dark Tour begins. To some, the drinks provide an air of Hollywood glamour while surrounded by movie memorabilia, to others it is a little liquid courage for the tour to come.

If the haunted feeling of an empty unlit historic studio lot and tales about where people have died and other surprises isn’t enough to scare you, stepping onto one of the oldest cemeteries in Los Angeles in the middle of the night surely will. For American Horror Story fans, they get a real look behind the mysterious story of Rudolph Valentino from Season Five, which depicts stories based on true Hollywood history, as they stand a few feet away from his crypt. ere, as you listen to stories from his mysterious demise and about the deaths of the people around him that followed, you can see for yourself that it’s true that his burial site always has a bunch of roses from the one they call the “Woman in Black.”

Paramount Pictures’ After Dark Tour takes you through the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, final resting place of many famous Hollywood celebrities....who might just be rather restless around Halloween...

A few miles north of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is Hollywood’s beloved Griffith Park, which has a dark history of its own. It is also home of the Haunted Hayride. Located at Griffith Park’s Old Zoo (an abandoned area with a few haunted stories of its own), this year’s Haunted Hayride theme reflects current popular scares: clowns. e attraction features four zones of terror: Haunted Hayride, House Of Shadows, Trick Or Treat and, of course, Purgatory. Aside from unleashing a legion of clowns unlike any seen before, the Haunted Hayride features an all-new layout for Purgatory this year, which includes eatre Macabre, Scary-Go-Round, Grub Shack, Bootique, psychic readings and twenty-foot Living Bonfire. e clown theme has been in demand for a while and has finally come to fruition this year. e woman behind Haunted Hayride, Melissa Carbone, explains to fans, “Once we started, we got so sucked into this rabbit hole of incredible clown content that we couldn’t just do one finale scene. So we decided to take the number one fan favorite experience of our entire history and make it the entire thirty-acre attraction.”

To the west of the Haunted Hayride is Universal Studios Hollywood, home to one of the most frightening and thrilling experiences of the year: Halloween Horror Nights. e event

brings in big numbers of people who wait for hours just to experience the spectacle. Its mazes are everyone’s favorite horror stories brought to life in an almost exact rendition of the films they are based on. Creative Director of Universal Studios Hollywood’s Horror Nights, John Murdy, confirmed that every detail is considered in making the mazes from what clothes a character wears to a picture and frame hanging on the wall. Each detail is replicated to as close as you can get to the movie.

Horror Nights is very much geared toward the uber fan from the details of the presentation to the exclusive scenes presented in the maze that didn’t make the final cut of the film. “We’re always looking for new ways to scare people,” Murdy said.

This year, Horror Nights bring the new Insidious and The Shining Continues

One of the creepy creatures you can find at the Haunted Hayride.

houses. The Insidious house is Elise Rainer’s old childhood home in New Mexico taken from the upcoming movie in the franchise, Insidious: The Last Key. Although the franchise began in the recent decade, it has garnered somewhat of a cult status similar to classic horror films, and the creators of Horror Nights keep that in mind. The Rainer house includes scenes from past movies in the series to cater to major fans of the films.

Even more surprises await fans as e Shining attraction brings the iconic Stanley Kubrick film and Stephen King story to life as the Overlook Hotel. Everything from the unique carpeting to the numbers on the doors of the hotel are all matched exactly to the ones in the film. Murdy assured that every stand-out, iconic and bizarre scene from the classic film will be paid homage during the maze. e Overlook at Horror Nights captures the essence of a feeling of utter dread from the film while holding back on too many jump scares in order to match the story as told in the

movie. is particular maze is the ultimate for the super fan as it captures even the tiniest details, sounds, music and colors from the film. How the maze recreates the iconic flooding elevator scene is another surprise.

Whether you like a good scary story of true events, an insane adventure through the depths of a haunted abandoned zoo or your favorite horror movie come to life, Hollywood has it all for locals and visitors alike throughout the Halloween season. So join the unique experiences in celebrating this special time of year, the spirit of Samhain awaits you…DH

l Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), a Mexican celebration, is a day to celebrate and remember those who have departed. On this day in Mexico, the streets near the cemeteries are filled with decorations, flowers, candy calaveras (skeletons and skulls), and parades. is holiday is a spiritual one full of festivities to honor the dead and does not follow the U.S. fascination with Halloween and horror.

It is believed that the spirit of the dead visit their families on October 31 and leave on November 2. To celebrate, families create altars and place offerings of favorite food and drink, bread baked in shapes of skulls and figures, candles, incense. Yellow marigolds and most important a photo of the departed is placed on the altar.

It might sound somewhat morbid, but Mexicans react to death with mourning along with happiness and joy. ey look at death with the same fear

as any other culture, but there is a difference. ey reflect their fear by mocking and living alongside death.

Living alongside death means that Mexicans have learned to accept it within their lives. Death is apparent in everyday life. Death is laughed at in its face. ere are sayings, and poems that are popular with day of the dead such as "Death is skinny/weak and she can't carry me." Calaveras (skulls) are decorated with bright colors with the name of the departed inscribed on the head.

Children carrying yellow marigolds enjoy the processions to the cemetery. At the cemetery, music is played and dances are made to honor the spirits.

Death is a celebration in Mexico and in Los Angeles there is no better example than the Dia de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. DH Excerpted from Northern Illinois University’s Northern Notes

The

Hollywood Roosevelt 90 Years of History, Celebrities... and Strange Stories

T

he 1927 newspaper ad promised that Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Gloria Swanson and other stars would be coming to the glamorous party celebrating the “e Moving Picture Hotel,” which had opened its doors several months earlier in May. As this luxurious landmark approaches its 90th anniversary, we decided to look back at the history—and some of the strange stories—associated with what is one of Tinsel Town’s most famous residents: e Roosevelt Hotel.

Standing right across the street from the TCL Chinese eatre, it’s right in the middle of the 2,400 or so stars that make up the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and for many years it was the office and home of former radio star and honorary “Mayor of Hollywood,” Johnny Grant.

Named after the 26th president of the United States, the Roosevelt cost $2.5 million, and was paid for by Pickford, Fairbanks, theatre owner Sid Grauman and studio mogul Louis B. Mayer.

Designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by architects Fisher, Lake & Traver, the 12-storey building had 300 rooms and was the height of luxury—it had a large pool, banqueting space, library, barbershop and laundry service—and today it’s just as opulent, with leather sofas, huge iron chandeliers and tiled fountains.

RIGHT: The Roosevelt on Hollywood Blvd., looking west. The ‘new’ Studebaker Starlite Sedan on the street pegs this as a mid-1950s scene.

BELOW: The pool was a favorite hot spot for movie moguls, celebrities and wanna-be’s of the Golden Years. The pool, seen here today, with painted bottom design by David Hockney.

RIGHT: Marilyn Monroe was spotted here at the Roosevelt pool making a toothpaste commerical, and now has a suite named after her.

e Roosevelt has hosted countless celebrities, politicians and VIPs over the decades, and many shows and movies have filmed here too (Beverly Hills Cop II, e Fabulous Baker Boys, Catch Me If You Can and Curb Your Enthusiasm, to name just a few).

Movie buffs might also be thrilled to know that child actress Shirley Temple apparently took an impromptu tap-dancing lesson from Bill “Bojangles” Robinson on the stairs here. ere are a number of notable penthouses including the GableLombard, which has views of the Hollywood sign and was named after the Golden Era actor lovers who stayed there for $5 a night, and the stunning Marilyn Monroe suite. e blonde actress lived at the Roosevelt for a couple of years early in her career, and it’s said her big break was when she was photographed at the pool for a toothpaste ad. e hotel has another famous story about her, but we’ll talk about that later. e Roosevelt Hotel hit the bigtime straight away, and its Blossom Room was the location of the first Academy Awards in May 1929, though it was a more formal affair in those days. e results had already been announced, and it was all over in less than half an hour! ey weren’t even called the “Oscars” yet, either. e Roosevelt spent many years in the spotlight, but by the

1950s the management decided on a change, demolishing some archways and ordering a “colorful” repaint of the exterior.

Fans and historians grumbled, but new owners Radisson dug out the original blueprints and old photos as part of a $35m renovation in 1985, and the lobby was restored and the fountain added. ey also commissioned British artist David Hockney to create a mural for the swimming pool.

Further expensive renovations have taken place since, and in 1991 the building was declared Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #545—but it’s events from the past that still intrigue (and maybe scare) visitors today.

As a booster of all things Hollywood for over 35 years, the late Johnny Grant attended over 500 Walk of Fame ceremonies and helped ensure the terrazzo stars were kept clean and repaired – and even recovered if they were stolen.

According to Jackie Lugo, his long-time secretary/assistant at the Hollywood Historic Trust, he regularly talked about the Roosevelt Hotel...and how it was haunted. continues FALL 2017 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 19

“Of course, no one would be on the line when I answered, though Johnny kept saying it was Marilyn! He knew her during her career, but I’m not sure if he was kidding about it being her!”

As for the story about Marilyn at the Roosevelt Hotel, it’s said that one day in 1985 an employee looked in a huge, full-

20 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2017

length mirror in the manager’s office and caught sight of a beautiful blonde standing behind her.

But there was no one else in the room.

Later the employee found out that the mirror had once been requested by a former resident—Marilyn. For many years the mirror was on display in the hotel, but at the moment it’s in storage (or is it? ere are rumors it was taken somewhere else). ere are many other supernatural stories linked to the Roosevelt.

One of the most compelling concerns sightings of a ghostly little girl in a blue dress who has been seen playing by the fountain in the lobby.

Christened “Caroline” by the staff, the story goes that she and her brother were staying here with their father, but one night when he went out to run an errand they decided to play at the pool and she fell in and drowned.

Some years later, the house telephone operator got a call from the lobby phone—it was a small girl “looking for her daddy.”

Almost as wellknown is the story of room 928.

Many guests on that floor have reported hearing a musical instrument and the sound of footsteps pacing, and a female guest in that room stated that the coffee pot, television and lights in her room kept switching on and off. She was moved to another room, but these odd things happened there too, and she checked out in the early hours.

It turned out that she had been using an Ouija board to try and contact the spirit of actor Montgomery Clift. During filming of From Here to Eternity in 1953, Clift had stayed in 928 and was often heard practicing the bugle (his character was a musician), and pacing up and down the corridor practicing his lines. ere’s no solid evidence for any of this of course, and it shouldn’t put you off visiting the Roosevelt—or even having a cocktail there. Foodies might head for the Public Kitchen & Bar, while partyers might prefer the fun Spare Room, which is on the Mezzanine level and features two 1920s bowling lanes (which you can rent if you want to splash out). ere’s also the sophisticated Library Bar and of course the Tropicana Bar, which overlooks the pool (and is the best place for star-spotting). For night owls, 25 Degrees is a 24/7 gourmet burger bar just off the hotel lobby.

Jackie, who was working for KTLA radio when she met Johnny at the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade and got offered the job, recalls her years as the most exciting job she ever had. “I never knew who was going to be on the phone when I picked it up,” she recalls.

As for that mysterious telephone, Grant finally put it in a closet.

“And I never heard it ring again! DH

Recently, a global fund raising campaign to preserve 138 acres adjacent to the world-famous sign reached its goal.

T

he Hollywood School for Girls at the Woman’s Club of Hollywood

O

ne of the best kept secrets in Hollywood is a twostorey wooden house that was once the Hollywood School for Girls. At the rear of the Woman’s Club of Hollywood property at 1749 N. La Brea Avenue, the school house began life as a private residence. e house was built for Charles Hanchett and his wife in 1903—the year Hollywood was incorporated.

In 1909, Miss Sophie Hogan was principal of a new school: e Hollywood School for Girls, situated on Sunset Boulevard and Hay Street. But in 1915, Charles Hanchett leased his two-storey home at 1749 N. La Brea to Miss Hogan as the new campus for the Hollywood School for Girls. Miss Hogan then sold her interest in the school to Miss Louise Knappen, a teacher from Minneapolis.

As Principal, Miss Knappen lived in the upstairs of the house and the ground floor became the heart of the new school. Five smaller classrooms— or cottages—were built around the property. It was advertised as “An Outdoor

Class photo at the School for Girls’ 1918 Christmas party.

School” because of the lush green lawns, flowers everywhere, acacia and pepper trees, rose gardens and jacaranda along the winding pathways. Classes were set up under the trees, even in a tree-house. For students from kindergarten to high school, HSG offered tuition in Latin, English, French, Mathematics, Domestic Science, Art, Music and Sports. It had around 100 girls and eventually 12 boys—with a few boarders, who slept on the sleeping porches during the heat of the summer. ere was additionally a five-week Summer Session of limited classes from the start of July. Hollywood School for Girls quickly became one of the leading private schools in Los Angeles.

Principal Louise Knappen married architect William Woollett in 1917 and they made their home away from the school grounds. According to records, associate Principal Marjorie Knappen, a housekeeper, a secretary, a couple of teachers and a housemother lived on the property— in the main schoolhouse and in the ‘cottage’ classrooms. e school was known for its ‘casual’ atmosphere and attracted daughters of many of the early Motion Picture Industry pioneers. Cecil B. DeMill’s girls Cecilia and Katherine and their cousins Agnes and Margaret, Louis B. 28 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2017

Mayer’s daughter Irene, Ruth Lasky—Jesse Lasky’s niece, and the daughters of Edgar Rice Burroughs, actors Francis X. Bushman and Reginald Denny were students. Catherine Toberman, daughter of Hollywood Developer C.E. Toberman and Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks’ son, Douglas Jr. attended, as did actor Joel McRae.e most famous student was Harlean Carpenter, who became Jean Harlow. She was elected vice-president of her 8th-grade class in 1924. e French teacher was Edith Head, who also became the school’s art teacher. During the long summer break, Edith Head applied for a job as a sketch artist in the costume department at Paramount Studios. But, as she could not sketch, she had the students in her class provide the sketches she took to the interview. Edith Head went on to earn 35 Oscar Nominations and won Oscars for Roman Holiday, All About Eve, e Sting and many others.

By now, Louise Knappen Woollett had bought the school property from the original owner’s widow, Mrs. Charles Hanchett, and remained Principal until the school closed in 1932, after effects from the Great Depression and other influences resulted in the Woolletts being unable to keep up the loan payments. During the following years, the property became an Artists’ Colony, wherein painters, photographers, potters and other artists rented the school classrooms or cottages.

In 1945 the Woman’s Club of Hollywood bought the property. e Woman’s Club was founded in 1905, when 14 women decided Hollywood needed a library. ey brought books from home and rented a room, until Dale Carnegie provided $10,000 and Daeida Wilcox gave them the piece of land on Ivar and Hollywood Boulevard where they built the library that still exists today. e members ran it until they donated it to the city of Hollywood. e members rented an outdoor venue for their music recitals in Daisy Dell. Eventually that became the Hollywood Bowl. e Club members banded together with other women in the community and started the annual Hollywood Bowl Easter Sunrise Service, which was run out of the Club office until its demise in 2010. e Club worked with Ginger Rogers’ mother, Lela Rogers, Betty Davis and other powerful Hollywood women to build the Hollywood Studio Club, where young actresses coming to town to pursue acting careers had somewhere safe to live. e club members supported the Los Angeles Orphans’ Society and a wing of Hollywood Hospital, amongst other causes. All before they had the right to vote!

Woman’s Club of Hollywood at 1749 La Brea Avenue. e Woman’s Club original home was built in 1914 on Hollywood Boulevard at La Brea—where the four silver statues now stand. is clubhouse was the Red Cross Center during World War One and World War Two, when members sat alongside nurses rolling bandages and preparing things for those on the battle fronts.

But by 1945 Hollywood Boulevard was getting crowded, and the present premises expensive to run. So the Woman’s Club moved up the street to the country-like atmosphere of the old Girls’ School property at 1749 N. La Brea Avenue. In 1947 the club built the current clubhouse on the front of the school property, where the playing fields had been. Designed by noted architect Arthur Harvey in a Spanishrevival style, the clubhouse was built around the old two-storey schoolhouse and opened in 1949.

Charlie Chaplin was involved in the club’s early days and played the piano that stands on the stage of today’s clubhouse. Mary Pickford was popular at the club and presented many of the cups awarded at the elaborate flower shows and parades from those early days. e club held reg-

ular fund-raising luncheons and lectures. Celebrities hosting or attending luncheons included Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, poet W.B. Yeats and Gloria Swanson. In recent years, Tippi Hedren, Marsha Hunt, Doris Roberts, Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows, Tim Allen, Melanie Griffiths are among the celebrities attending the club. e club has just emerged from a lengthy battle with schemers, who attempted to turn the club into a luxury condo resort. But the members fought back and their clubhouse was returned to them—stripped of signs, furniture, fittings and fixtures. is is happening all over the country: women’s clubs that own property, and where members were aging, have become targets for these predatory take-overs.

But this Hollywood Woman’s Club is a survivor. With a growing, younger membership and a new Board of Directors, the club is making a grand re-entrance into Hollywood. With a focus on the Golden Years of Hollywood, regular exciting events are happening. e recent Jean Harlow Celebration was so successful that this will become an annual event. With generous help from supporters, the restoration of the clubhouse and the schoolhouse are underway. e WCH is a California Cultural Heritage Monument (no. 604) and on the National Historic Registry.

As a 501c3 non-profit organization, the club continues to support e Jeffrey Foundation (for Mothers of Children with Special Needs), the Aviva Family Services, e Hamburger Teen Home, Make-Oversat-Matter for veterans, returning veterans from all military fields and wherever else the help is needed.

And so a new chapter begins at this historic landmark. Since 1905 the Club had been the Heart of Hollywood—and 112 years later, the Woman’s Club of Hollywood has found her heart again. DH British born Rosemary Lord is the author of Hollywood en and Now and Los Angeles en and Now and writes the prohibition-era novel series, the Lottie Topaz Hollywood Mysteries. She serves as President of the Woman’s Club of Hollywood.

ollywood at Play celebrates classic Hollywood and its larger-than-life personalities with an affectionate and nostalgic trip back in time to an era of glamour, elegance, and charm. Authors Donovan Brandt, Mary Mallory and Stephen X. Sylvester have assembled quite an interesting array of iconic and rarely seen images of Golden Era movie stars enjoying life off-camera. Hollywood at Play takes a refreshing and lighthearted look at a slower and simpler age when celebrities could relax and be themselves. Spanning the years 1925-1960, the book shows vintage Hollywood restaurants such as Pirate’s Den, the Brown Derby, Ciro’s and World War II’s Hollywood Canteen. Also included are beloved sites like Gilmore Field, Hollywood Park and Disneyland and striking photos of stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Clint Eastwood, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant and Judy Garland (Lyons Press)

iss D and Me is a story of two powerful women, one at the end of her life and the other at the beginning. The frame of the story is a four-day road trip from Biarritz to Paris. As Bette Davis aged she was looking for an assistant, but she found something more than that in Kathryn Sermak— a loyal and loving buddy, a co-conspirator in her jokes and schemes, and a competent assistant whom she trained never to miss a detail. The book is a window into the world of the unique and formidable Bette Davis, told by the person who perhaps knew her best of all. Co-written with journalist Danelle Morton, Kathryn Sermak is also co-founder of the Bette Davis Foundation and co-executor of her estate. (Hachette Books) DH

Ye Olde Public House

he Cat & Fiddle first opened in Laurel Canyon in 1982 by musician, Londoner Kim Gardner and his wife, Paula, from New Orleans. Kim was a bassist and integral part of the British Rock invasion of the 1960s and 70s. He recorded over 27 albums and played in bands such as Quiet Melon (with Rod Stewart), Ashton, Gardner & Dyke, e Creation and e Birds (with Ron Wood). When his work brought Kim to Hollywood, he decided to open a British pub in the neighborhood because there wasn't one. e pub became the favorite watering hole for the entertainment community from both near and far. Paula's roots were in fashion and she owned "Lily Bleu" a successful shoe store on Santa Monica Boulevard. After the Cat & Fiddle launched and was an instant success, Paula closed her store to help at the pub.

By 1985, e Cat had outgrown the small nook in the Canyon and moved to a larger location on Sunset Boulevard in a historic Spanish revival building with a delightful outdoor patio. For a magical 32 years, e Pub poured many pints, served delicious homemade food, created lasting memories and was a

community favorite before local development forced them out. e Cat & Fiddle is very much family run. Sadly, in 2001, Kim passed away but Paula and their three daughters, Eva, Ashlee and Camille, have carried on the torch. ey continue to work alongside their mum, keeping the Cat & Fiddle legacy alive. Eva, a bassist who followed her father's footsteps, has her own signature bass with Fender and has played for artists such as P!nk, Cher, Gwen Stefani, Tegan & Sara and Moby. Ashlee, a graduate of USC's Marshall School of Business and author of Entrepreneur Magazine's Great Book of Business Lists, has helped run the Cat & Fiddle full-time since 2005. She and her husband, producer/ writer, Justin Raisen also run Paulie Music, a music management company. Recently, after several years working for 38 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2017

hospitality firms such as Patina Restaurant Group and David Burke Group in New York, Camille is excited to return to LA to help her family at the pub.

Together they run the Cat & Fiddle and keep the community's spirit very much alive.

Over the last two years, Paula and her daughters searched LA looking for the perfect place to write the next chapter of e Cat & Fiddle. In early 2017, they announced a new location opening on Highland near Melrose Avenue. It is a more intimate setting, complete with a lovely garden patio. Previously home to the famous Highland Grounds, a popular music café, it feels just right and their landlord is more interested in finding the perfect tenant than squeezing his tenants. e new location is surrounded by many of their long-time patrons who work and live nearby. “We are so grateful and excited to be back in Hollywood. We are blessed,” enthused Paula. e Cat & Fiddle serves British staples such as fish and chips, bangers and mash and homemade savoury pies, as well as delicious burgers and salads. It offers a versatile selection of craft, imported and domestic beers, wines and fresh signature cocktails with ingredients often from the Gardners' garden. Patrons have long enjoyed their 11:30-5pm lunch and both Saturday and Sunday brunch. But it’s the ambiance, good food and camaraderie that keeps them coming back—especially e Cat’s Hour weekdays from 5-7pm that features $6 drafts and well drinks, and $6-8 appetizer menu.

As they celebrate their 35th year, the Gardners look forward to continuing the Cat & Fiddle legacy. As 30-year patrons, all we can say is “welcome back...we missed you.” DH

Murals in Hollywood An array of murals provide diversion to the urban streetscape. Eloy Torrez Legends of Cinema graces the front of Hollywood High’s Auditorium on Highland Ave. On Hudson north of Hollywood Blvd. see Alfredo de Batuc’s A Tribute to Delores Del Rio. Thomas Suriya’s You Are The Star is at southwest corner of Wilcox and Hollywood Blvd. For a mural that requires a little more thought, travel two blocks north on Argyle and Franklin and see an untitled mural by the late Dan Collins. Noted marine artist Wyland has “gone Hollywood,” painting a whale mural on Gower at Willoughby (on a Paramount soundstage wall). See George Sportelli’s Nancy Sinatra steps away from Hollywood Blvd. on Wilcox and Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash (look up) on Las Palmas just south of Hollywood Blvd. and Tony Curtis and Charles Bronson (on utility box) at Bronson and Hollywood Blvd. McNeilly's Jim Morrison and Marilyn near LaBrea and Hollywood, Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash on Las Palmas just south of Hollywood Blvd. and Tony Curtis at Bronson and Hollywood Blvd. Artist Hector Ponce’s mural Tribute to Hollywood faces west near Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilton.

Oscarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hollywood

Discover Hollywood Special Report

wo new hotels opened in Hollywood last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Kimpton Everly with 216 rooms and the Hampton Inn Hollywood with 112 rooms. With the Dream Hotel that opened in July, more than 500 rooms have been added to the Hollywood market this year. This is a 15-percent increase in the number of hotel rooms in Hollywood, a total of 3,926 rooms in 51 properties.

By my count, there are another 15 hotels proposed for Hollywood. I'm sure some people are asking if we can support them all. One important thing to remember is that the hotels do not all come online at once. It is a long way from a hotel being proposed to under construction and no guarantee that all the proposed venues will be built. The marketplace will be the final determinant of what gets built. The interest in building new hotels in Hollywood is a nice problem to have!

I recall back in 2000 when our chair-of-the board, Oscar Arslanian, and I trekked to Beverly Hills to meet with a representative of Hilton Hotels to convince them that they should come to Hollywood. It had been 25 years since a significant hotel had opened in Hollywood. Hilton turned us down, saying that the timing wasn't right for a hotel in Hollywood. We were ahead of our time.

It was a frustrating period. Hollywood was the top tourist draw in Los Angeles County, and yet no new hotels were coming to our community. They were locating in neighboring cities, which meant transient occupancy taxes (TOT) collected by those hotels were also going to other communities. TOT taxes can be an important component of a city's budget, so this was potentially a huge loss for Los Angeles. In L.A. during its last fiscal year, the city received $230.8-million in TOT taxes and another $27.5-million from short-term rental taxes. With Los Angeles facing a budget gap of over $200-million, finding new sources of revenue is key to maintaining services. Each new hotel that opens in the city helps fill the budget shortfall.

Aside from providing tax revenue to a city, there are numerous other benefits that new hotels bring to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one of which is jobs. The Dream Hotel and its associated restaurants employ about 800 people. The Everly Hotel has a staff of 125 and the Hampton Inn employs another 40. These are all new jobs, on sites where there were few jobs before. To be able to add this many jobs to our employment base is exciting. Yes,

Kimpton Everly Hotel many of these jobs are entry level positions, but in this community with all income levels, we need both entry level and executive positions.

New hotels also add to the ambiance of a neighborhood. Infill development helps to activate the street. The areas around the Dream Hotel and Everly were previously "dead" as far as pedestrians. Now, you see people walking to and from these venues, which creates more interest but also makes the neighborhood safer. It is impressive to now see people walking in Hollywood, not just on the major thoroughfares, but also on the side streets. Hollywood is a model for the entire City on how to activate a neighborhood.

Hotels are also are great public gathering spaces for locals - with lobbies, restaurants, meeting rooms, and in some cases, rooftop terraces that overlook the Hollywood Hills and the L.A. skyline. The general manager of the Everly Hotel told me they are positioning their hotel as one designed to serve the local neighborhood. Since this new hotel lies in close proximity to many of our hillside neighborhoods, it only makes sense.

New hotels enrich a community in many ways. Downtown Hollywood is becoming an even more attractive urban neighborhood. The Hollywood hotel boom is a very good thing for our community and for the City as a whole. DH Guest columnist for this issue is Leron Gubler, President and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce who has an update on new hotels enriching Hollywood. Leron is celebrating a milestone: 25 years of extraordinary leadership in Hollywood.
