@apriltorres3684 Год назад

I totally agree with you in regards to the destruction of Hollywood Bungalows and Mansions and let's not forget the famous restaurants. The fact that Hollywood's fascinating history is almost gone is such a shame. I would loved to have been in Hollywood during it's heyday not just because of it's movie stars but the Architecture design's of the houses and places of interest. The other area I find frustrating is the fact a nice big museum based on Hollywood has never been built and it most likely won't. Big Travesty !!

At one point, I tried to build my whole world around “vintage”; the clothes, cars, home furnishings, my surroundings, my 1830’s apartment, old music and movies. It’s been a wonderful obsession♥️. I just recently sold lots of my vintage clothing collection. But I still have all the really cool and rare pieces😃

You act like….you’d heard rumors all the time but just couldn’t find any info….then this video in 2023 (🙄🤣😂)comes out and 💥 now I get to know the whole story! Made me chuckle…..o the drama.

I'm really enjoying this and you're doing an excellent job.. I lived in the Los Feliz Hills on Sunset Drive around 1970 then it was a very unpretentious Bohemian Enclave with a lot of old actors and writers my ex-husband being one and I do remember walking down to that motion picture Studio and I really didn't know what it was all about then I think it was near Hyperion and it had an old wooden gate in the very front one that a person could easily enter into but of course I had no interest in doing that but it just had such a history as did the neighborhood I lived in I also worked around Hollywood and Vine at the Max Factor Studio around that time and worked at Studios and lived across the street from the Selznick Studios one of those historic Cottages that were then moved to the inside of the studio as a landmark so I guess that's why I enjoy watching shows like this because it just brings back so many memories. When you got to the end of this part 1 in your series you mentioned Robinsons department store downtown and that was my very first place of employment when I moved from New York to Los Angeles.I remember the old wooden escalator and they had a Sundries Department imagine that.

@MothGirl007 Год назад

Edendale actually encompassed more than just the neighborhood that is now known as Echo Park - it was also what is now known as Los Feliz and Silverlake. As someone who was born in Hollywood and loves old movies, it's one of the reasons I love living in Edendale - it has fabulous history.

@meeeka 7 месяцев назад

Across from our house in the "Silverlake Hills" was an old house, rather Italianate, in which a very old lady lived. Supposedly she had been a movie player who had worked at a studio over on Glendale Blvd, across from Tom Mix' ( one of the first Hollywood cowboys) stable where his famous horses were kept. The only studio I remember was there was Mack Sennett's but the lady across from us wasn't a comedienne. As a child I had been warned to never bother this lady, no noise, no stopping by to chat. In the early 1970s, it seems that she died, house and grounds were sold, demolished, robbed out of its fine accoutrements and fell into the hands of developers. Totally ruined the block. So much early movie history over in the east side of LA and because a lot of it was just abandoned, it was left untouched for a long time. addenda: The Mixville studios (Tom Mix' place) is much more northerly than the Keystone studio.

@serenatwilite4005 10 дней назад

mothgirl007 Very interesting to know that Los Feliz and Silverlake were also part of Edendale. I had never heard that. I think they should have left all of it to be called Edendale. I think it was a much prettier name than any of the other names it's called now. If I lived in any of those places, I would still refer to it as Edendale.

Oh, this is great! Transposing the old streets of Hollywood into today....quite sad it's all gone. I recently discovered that my great uncle, whom I did know, married a woman whose uncle left the East, along with his sister. He wound up being an extra in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in the famous tango scene and then later in the tango palace scene, dancing right behind Valentino. I have a short up showing who he is and am finishing up a video of my completed and posted blog post. Frank's sister was also in the business and I have posted pictures she took on the Our Gang set...Frank himself landed a job as a valet of some sort working for Hal Roach and I have posted pictures of him and his sister at Hal Roach's home first Hollywood home in the Berkeley Square development. Mary Miles Minter apparently led on Rudolph Valentino and his friend, letting them think she was interested in each of them...When they found out that she was exchanging love letters with both of them, well, that was the end of that!

Excellent job, and i hope You recount the above, mostly forgotten tales of truly talented actors, with the same attention to detail, on what remains of the bygone environs.... i simply ❤ how the camera just heart-breakingly scans the seemingly impenetrable gates to the Nirvana of Beautiful, luxurious mansions which harken back to the wondrously beguiling days of Hollywood's enchanting Beginnings....

I'm a huge movie buff! Used to go to Hollywood all the time. Read books on Lucille Ball, Clark Gable, Rock Hudson. And I find the old studio contract system fascinating. But Hollywood has gone crazy woke. Plus the movies for the most part are awful. One super hero movie after the other. I'm not sure if this industry will survive. They were in huge trouble in the 1960's but independent films such as Bonnie and Clyde helped pull them up. Hopefully they will get their act together. Nothing is ever too big and powerful to fail. Just look at Mero Goldwyn Mayer. MGM was once a powerhouse beyond belief. Now look at them. WE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ❤❤ KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 😊

Great video! 14:08 for Louise Brooks fans, she's in the lower right (publicity) photo standing on the ladder "painting" the barn - wearing high heels and ultra-chic flapper clothes and cloche hat lol. Sennett supposedly was NOT happy being surprised on "This is Your Life", it took a few minutes for him to warm up and smile when he recognized his old friends. He was scammed into appearing thinking he was going to be on a show with some title like "How to get your Book Published", presumably his memoir.

We both immersed iurselves in LA, we both loved the place and its history. Mark once commented that his life was "a continuing love-hate affair with LA." I thought he nailed it.

Very nicely done! For any and all interested, I read "Tinseltown" by Willian J. Mann last summer and it's quite the overview of the Desmond mystery. It includes the Olive Thomas and Roscoe Arbuckle scandals, as well as numerous others from the time. It also goes into great detail about the relationship between Zucker and Hays and the reality of the mounting pressure of making movies (and business empires) at the time. Mann doesn't pull any punches and he sheds a bit of light on the mystery of Desmond himself, who was possibly not the person whom most thought he was. Mann also proposes an interesting potential guilty party and their motivation.

I found the book Cast of Killers years ago. Thought it would make a great who done it or at least true crime Doc these days.

My grandmother was a Mack Sennett bathing beauty when she was in her teens. Her name was Hazel Williams.

Sorry, you lost me. No chance I’ll be checking out part deux…too many potatoes and not enough meat.

Justin, as a decades long devotee of the Taylor Case I have to say Thank you for providing such a detailed tour of the many locations still in existence here in L.A.! Even though there has been no definitive explanation to the mystery of who shot WDT the fascination with both the murder and the cast of characters continues. Again, Thank You Justin!!

Before it was Chase Bank, it was Home Savings Bank!! The beautiful murals were put in when it was first Home Savings!!! NOT Chase. Just sayin.’ I’m 70 and performed as an entertainer for Home Savings Big Band for 10 years! They alone are worth knowing some thing about if you ever want to explore that story. They even went national for a few years before they went under, but they were a wonderful company and did spectacular fabulous 40 shows which I was honored to be in, as the former Harry James vocalist for 10 years! Just wanted to drive home the point that that beautiful mural and everything you’re looking at was not created for any chase bank. It was created for home savings bank. Thanks for listening.

New subscriber. Such an interesting video. So sad that all those oldies but goodies weren’t more appreciated. Personally, I prefer the old black and white movies over any of the Hollyweird crap that they churn out these days. I haven’t gone to a movie theater to see a movie in years.

That bank building, especially that magnificent mural in its totality is a work of high art. Kudos to all those involved with its planning and construction.
