It typically draws thousands over a single Sunday in early May.
The history within reach
Chaplin put up an English village of a studio on an orange grove and worked there for over thirty years, shooting The Kid, City Lights and Modern Times on the lot.
A small studio with a famously good echo chamber where Phil Spector piled up players until a mono single sounded like an orchestra falling downstairs.
- L.A. Confidential0.7 mi
The red Chinese diner beside the old studio where a detective mistakes a call girl for a film star and is corrected, 'a hooker cut to look like Lana Turner is still a hooker.' The Formosa is real, a 1925 railcar bar hung with headshots, and still open, still dark, still exactly the room in the film..
The oldest restaurant in Hollywood, where a fading actor and his stunt double drink and take stock across a red booth.
- Musso & Frank Grill0.8 mi
The oldest restaurant in Hollywood, red booths and career waiters, where Faulkner and Chandler drank on the studios' money.
