http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original eBay I remember when I first saw the "now" pictures, I had trouble working out what was left. Here's a 1948 aerial showing the theater near the middle of the block on the south-west corner of the intersection. It looks like there was a circular drive-in on the north-east corner. It became a gas station sometime between 1953 and 1964. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Historic Aerials In 2004, the theater was virtually the only building on the block. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Historic Aerials As has been previously mentioned (see links below), the theater is now a CVS Pharmacy... http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV ...and the block has filled in with other businesses. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original Google Maps Follow-ups to rcarlton's original post: revheavyg - http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=11432 tovangar2 - http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=11442 |

The ol' noggin's still good! I remember all those surrounding buildings were demolished after the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. And that tall theater building was abandoned since 87' I don't go to that area anymore as I did as a kid. Even in the early 2000's that building stood solitary and decaying. Cool they decided to salvage it. And that has to be the biggest CVS pharmacy I have ever seen! Here's a cool site with tons of photos of the theater. https://sites.google.com/site/losang...es/golden-gate |

Sebring Hair Designing/Sebring International was at 725 N Fairfax Avenue in West Hollywood throughout the '60s, according to the City Directories. Here's 725 N Fairfax today (the black building on the right). It's now home to the GoodForm Salon. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...25NFairfax.jpg GSV |
Thanks Hoss. I always thought it was in Beverly Hills.
Wasn't the movie "Shampoo" (1975) partially based on Jay Sebring's life? (pre-murder) |
:previous:
According to the 'Shampoo' trivia page at IMDb.com: The lead character was based on actual hairdresser Jay Sebring and Jon Peters. Wikipedia says: The lead character, George Roundy, is reportedly based on several actual hairdressers, including Jay Sebring and film producer Jon Peters, who is a former hairdresser. Sebring was brutally murdered by the Charles Manson family in 1969. According to the 2010 book Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America by Peter Biskind, the screenwriter Towne based the character on Beverly Hills hairdresser Gene Shacove. Whoever the character was based on, George Roundy's salon was in Beverly Hills. |

The only survivor of the Tate Murders....

He said he was listening to a "Doors" album and writing letters! That was in 1969. I don't believe he was drugged and was probably just coming off his own using. I do think he may have heard something at sometime but dismissed it. He was asleep when the cops arrived. If you knew people were being killed you wouldn't fall asleep on the couch whether you were screwed up or not. My own opinion! If Tex and the others had found Billy that night he'd have been as dead as Sharon and the others. They weren't the most thoughtful folk and sure didn't want to leave this young guy as some sort of witness for the murders. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psylot2jtu.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psmq45izk8.jpg ebay |

Johnny Socko's excellent post on movie actress/stunt driver, Famous-Player Lasky alum, Anita King, inspired me to look into one of the other players on the Famous-Players Lasky composite.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...901/ROGpkO.jpg wikipedia/Famous-Players Lasky 1916 Advertisement Miss Ann Pennington http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...913/dw7ASc.jpg http://www.dvrbs.com/people/camdenpe...pennington.htm The 4'10" actress starred on Broadway in the 1910s and 1920s, most notably in 'Ziegfeld Follies' and 'George White's Scandals. Later she appeared in 13 silent films and 10 sound films, the last being 'China Girl' (1942) starring Gene Tierney and George Montgomery. In this film she played a character named 'Sugar Fingers'. "Ms. Pennington was most famous for dancing the 'Black Bottom'." Here she teaches Felix the Cat the 'Black Bottom'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...673/Rx7k8U.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/QrYqD8.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/9o2pIR.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...907/dI9emf.jpg Studio portrait of Ann Pennington.
