Hollywood Homes.






Above we have the former home of John Barrymore and Dolores Castillo, it is said he bought this house for her as a wedding gift.


Above is former home of Artie Shaw and Ava Gardner, it is located right in Beverly Hills, I was pleased this was still in one piece as the house he lived in with Lana Turner is demolished, like so many are. 


         I don't think anyone famous lived at this house but I just love it. 


         Silent film star Esther Ralstons home looks exactly the same!

More soon! >3

    "They were the the kinds of places that crazy movie people built in the crazy 20s..."

    So sad to lose these treasures, glad to know a few are still around!

It Happned One Night

  Franklin Park Canyon is one of the locations where It Happened One Night filmed, you can visit the pond where they swam across even! This is one of my favorite movies and I love the Hitchhiking scene,  I decided to pay homage to good ol Claudette Colbert which happens to be my Husbands number one old Hollywood crush. Photos were taken at Franklin Canyon Park,many movies have been filmed here, its really a great park 7 miles from Hollywood but it makes one feel you are in the country :) My Dress is from the 1930s, and is absolutely one of my favorites in my closet! I hope you enjoyed the photos,blogger was giving me some trouble so I apologize for the jumpy layout..  Photos taken by my husband and edited by me.

Hollywood sign..

Image
Nick and I hiked up to the Hollywood sign, the views were amazing!! I could not help but wonder how Peg Enwistle climbed those hills at night so she could jump to her death… the poor dear :( While the stars on the sidewalk are now an everyday normal thing for me.. the hollywood sign is always a reminder you are living in one of the most famous places in the world.   As a midwest transplant I admit I had some of the stereotypical ideas in my head about LA before I moved here, and many are proving me wrong. My goal is to show people the real Los Angeles not what you see on TV. The start of the hike. On top of the world!
