Charlie Chaplin

Chaplin Court

Another whimsical item from John Robert Marlow is about a set of houses called "Chaplin Court."  It's at http://www.johnrobertmarlow.com/sa__storybook.html.  Marlow states that not only that Charlie Chaplin lived there but John Barrymore, Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.
 
As a matter of fact . . . John Barrymore's son, John Drew Barrymore, lived there and his daughter, Drew, was born there.  (Maven's wondered if she was born literally there like Maven's mother was literally born in HER mother's house!)
 
Is any of it true?  Who knows but it's still a cute place!

Would you believe a real fairy castle?!  Maven has been fascinated for years about Colleen Moore's Doll House.  She was an actress who got her start in the silent era and began building "Colleen's Folly" in 1928.  It would cost $500,000 by the time it was finished in 1935 (almost $8,000,000 in 2008 dollars).  Just click on the link CHILDREN'S CORNER: Colleen Moore and Her Fairy Castle.

The Brown Derby

Click on the Photo to Go to Their Website

     This is the famous Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood!  The website also has their menu which makes Maven's mouth water just looking at it!
     There is a website that you might want to visit at http://www.thehollywoodbrownderby.com/.
     It is also one of the places that is mentioned in a project Maven was part of several years ago:  Charlie Chan at College.  Several of us got together and wrote a script set between the Warner Oland and the Sidney Toler eras . . . complete with #1 AND # 2 sons, Lee and Jimmy!
