Hollywood Then And Now - December 2020

 

It's amazing what you find when driving around Hollywood on an empty day after Christmas.

Here you see the infamous Bette Davis in costume on location at the house she and Blanche lived in for the delicious film "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"  I remember reading somewhere that the real house was in Hollywood and currently for sale.

Imagine my surprise when it turned up right in front of me as I was doing errands.


There it sits in Hancock Park.  And what's that to the left?  The gate which Joan Crawford was opening as Bette Davis hit the gas pedal.  

Vrooom, vrooom.

And yes, that's a "for sale" sign.   I wonder if there are still rats in the basement.

Dinner last night:  Leftover Chinese food.
