Hollywood Then and Now - January 2022

Hollywood streets used to provide the ideal locations.   And, a recent revisit to the wonderful Billy Wilder film "Double Indemnity" prompted me to do a deep dive into two locations that still exist virtually intact.

For instance, you will remember Fred MacMurray's "Walter Neff" living in an apartment on Western Avenue in Los Angeles.

Well, it was really on North Kingsley Drive but the building looks amazingly the same.

What about the exterior for the house where Barbara Stanwyck's character resided in the Hollywood Hills?

Naturally, the interiors were filmed on the lot.  But the house still looks the same.

It looks like they switched out the garage doors, but still...  That is the house.

The more things changes, the more some things remain the same as if it was still 1941.

Dinner last night:  Had a big lunch so just a small sandwich.
