All this talk of coffee inevitably leads me to...

Billboard advertising doughnuts, Herman Schultheis, ca.1943 A Foster and Kleiser billboard for doughnuts sold at Van de Kamp's Bakeries. LAPL http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8041/7...ff49b775_o.jpg Contract approval, 1951 Contract approval, 11 October 1951. Betsy Von Furstenberg, 20. An apparently hungry little thing. Went on to a nice, though modest, career in film and television with more success (interest?) in stage work. Complete name, Elizabeth Caroline Maria Agatha Felicitas Therese von Furstenberg-Hedringen and with a name like that you'd expect gloves but...maybe the glazed doughnut sent the gloves to the handbag. And, by the way, that's a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract she's holding. USCdigital archive/Los Angeles Examiner Negatives Collection, 1950-1961 |

One time an armored car driver tossed a bag of dimes at the flatbed cart and it caught the corner of the cart and tore open and 10,000 dimes went flying all over the loading dock which was a secured area. So we had to sweep them up and made him and his partner wait while we ran them through a counter to be sure we had every last one…meanwhile other trucks that had shown up had to sit and wait before they could enter the dock. That job was not hard, but did require a lot of trust, because the pay was really low and during my time there at least a dozen employees were fired for “dipping in” for a twenty here, or a ten there. The bank never prosecuted them because the amount was small, maybe a few hundred over a period of time and they did not want to broadcast to the public how many employees where embezzling cash. But those caught could never again be bonded. |

She was a student here when lodging at the orphanage over the road and south a bit.

Hahaha. I now know where that beautiful little building is. We've looked so long. A couple of months ago I even went so far as to have a friend of mine who is an associate curator at the Architecture and Design Museum down on Wilshire to look at our little dog-eared image and he passed it around to his cohorts but still nothing but now I know. Google Map the Biltmore Motor Inn on Ventura Boulevard and then walk the cursor around the corner to Carpenter Avenue and look at the addresses. We need an aerial to be sure. I'm looking now.
