Thelma Todd








I visited her former cafe and the place where she was found dead. Her death became a great scandal, as some thought it may have been murder, I lean towards the Roland West theory, it was said he did not want her to go out again that night so he locked her in the garage to teach her a lesson.. picture Thelma Todd drunk sitting in the car, in the garage ready to drive off fighting with her lover.. so he locked her in, in the morning much to his shock she was dead. Thelma was very drunk that night, I suppose she passed out and died from the car fumes.
We will never know what really happened.

The Cafe today.



The Garage she was found dead in.

The door to the garage..look at the tile

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.

Beverly Hills Hotel.

This iconic hotel is one of my favorite hotels ever. You can still feel the energy of old Hollywood here. Back in the day folks would come here to pick up the paper and have a cup of coffee , it was a local hang out and not just for the celebrities.  While having breakfast in the fountain room a tourist/visitor decided to take a photo of me.. Honey I'm not Elizabeth Taylor but this hotel does make you feel like white diamonds.
