Dining Map: Hollywood from A-Z Why I Love Hollywood Event Venues Shopping Around Getting Around Oscar’s Hollywood Tours & Sightseeing TV Tickets Around Town On The Cover: Kermit the Frog as “The Little Tramp” tips his hat in welcome at the Jim Henson Studio.

From the Editor S

pring is busting out all over.

Thankfully, we’ve had a little rain and our hillsides show it. Enjoy it while we can, another dry summer is on its way.

Historically we’ve always had our highs and lows as far as rainfall. One of the reasons Hollywood voted to join the City of Los Angeles was due to the lack of rainfall and a year or two of drought that was a disaster to the fields of melons that were being grown in the Cahuenga Valley (aka Hollywood). What do they say about history repeating itself?

Speaking about repeating, this issue we celebrate yet another centennial.

Rachel Flanagan gives us some background on the creation of the Charlie Chaplin Studio. Interestingly, neighbors had issues regarding new developments as far back as 1918. The Jim Henson Studios couldn’t have found a better home for itself in Hollywood. Charlie Chaplin is a hard act to follow, but Kermit seems to be enjoying himself atop the famed studio gate.

Hollywood and its streets are filled with countless stories of people both behind the camera and on screen. Some are well known names and others’ lasting contribution have become part of popular culture. Forrest J Ackerman was such a personality. His story is fascinating and his contribution will live forever.

Two years ago, the brothers Stone fulfilled on their dream to open a restaurant in Hollywood. They have transformed one of Sunset Boulevard’s Spanish revival buildings into a masterpiece—not only of food but of décor. Named for their grandmother, Gwen is now a well-established eatery and a go-to quality butchershop for the carnivores among us.

There’s no doubt that the times are changing; guest contributor to Oscar’s Hollywood column, Marty Shelton, fills us in on what’s happening with Hollywood’s economic renaissance.

So, enjoy our delightful California spring. Yes, folks, we do have seasons, but unless it’s fire or mud, they are subtle and occasionally hard to define.

Go out and smell the flowers.

Recently, a global fundraising campaign to preserve 138 acres adjacent to the world-famous sign reached its goal.

Chaplin-Henson The

T

Studios

hanks to the advent of cinema, the legendary Charlie Chaplin is forever immortalized as a comedic genius dressed as a funny little man with a goofy walk, bowler hat, bamboo cane and a toothbrush mustache. Born in London in 1889, Chaplin quickly made a place for himself in vaudeville theatre whose popularity brought him and his vaudeville troupe to the United States. When his contract expired in 1913, he began working in early films at $150 a week becoming an overnight success with many offers for his services. Before he was 30, he was one of the most famous men in the world and a pivotal character in the silent film era of early Hollywood.

Wanting more freedom from the studio heads and producers and contracts that controlled actors, Chaplin set his heart on the idea of building his own studio. In 1917, independent theatre owners in the United States came together to create the First National Exhibitors’ Circuit, Inc. becoming the country’s largest theater chain. In order to work with First National, Chaplin needed a studio. In October 1917, he announced plans to build his own film studio at the southeast corner of La Brea and Sunset Boulevard.

Chaplin purchased the site on the corners of La Brea and De Longpre Avenue from R.S. McClellan, who lived on the property and owned a large orange grove. The Chaplin family home would be on the northern part of the property which would be the motion picture plant. Since the property was in a residential neighborhood at the time, many residents opposed the idea of a movie studio in their neighborhood claiming it was much too close to Hollywood High School. However, the City Council approved Chaplin’s permit and in November 2017, construction began for a

reported $35,000. He believed that he had built the perfect location with a developing plant, cutting room and offices.

In January 1918, Los Angeles Times motion picture editor Grace Kingsley and cartoonist Edmund Waller “Ted” Gale visited Charlie Chaplin’s new studio. They described the building as a camouflaged English street while other writers described it as “eccentric Peter Pan architecture.” The studio was disguised as a picturesque cottage to appease the local residents. Though a large private residence was located on the northern end of the property along Sunset Boulevard, Chaplin never lived there, though his brother and other studio personnel did. The English cottage-style buildings along La Brea held the studio offices, a screening room and a film lab. The center of the property housed two large outdoor sets and a backlot while dressing rooms, a garage, a carpenter’s shed, film vault, tennis courts, swimming pool and sta-

bles made up the rest of the five-acre property.

Charlie Chaplin Studios released its first film, A Dog’s Life, with First National in April 1918. In 1919, together with Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks, Chaplin created United Artists, the first studio allowing actors to control their own interests. His studio was the location of many of Chaplin’s greatest films including The Kid, The Gold Rush, City Lights and The Great Dictator.

In 1928 and 1929, La Brea Avenue was expanded and forced the buildings along the street RIGHT and FACING PAGE: Inside the small lot, the buildings and atmosphere seem more like a neighborhood than a studio.

to be relocated 15 feet back from their original sites.

In the mid-1930s, the open-air stages were converted to closed soundstages and a smaller stage was built over the location of the studio swimming pool. In 1942, Chaplin sold the northern portion of the property, including the private residence, tennis courts and a portion of the backlot, and a shopping center was built in its place. Chaplin Studios was well known as a sacred location for Charlie Chaplin who never permitted outsiders to work there. However, in 1943, Columbia Pictures was permitted to shoot Curly on the studio lot. The studio is said to be the location of Greta Garbo’s last screen test in 1949 and the last Chaplin film to be made on the lot was The Limelight in 1952. With America at the peak of Cold War paranoia as well as sex scandals and other political agendas at a high, Charlie Chaplin left the United States in 1952 and sold his studio in 1953.

The new owner planned to tear down the studio, but fortunately it was leased to a television production company where it became the home of The Adventures of Superman, The Red Skelton Show, and Perry Mason, among others. In 1966, Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss purchased the studio for the headquarters for A&M Records. Alpert and Moss rebuilt the old soundCurrent studio and Henson photos courtesy of the Jim Henson Company

stages into what they described as the most luxurious and pleasant studios in the world. During its time as A&M Records, the studio was host to multiple musicians’ recordings and videos including The Police’s music video for Every Breath You Take and both versions of We are the World with music legends. In 1969, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission designated the studio Historical Monument No. 58, noting that the property was one of the few locations from old Hollywood that had retained its early production layout. At the time, the studio was only the second entertainment-related building to receive the designation after Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

Puppeteer Jim Henson had built a dynasty creating a cast of characters beloved by generations until his untimely death at the age of 53 in 1989. In February 2000, the late Jim Henson’s children purchased the studio to serve as the new home of The Jim Henson Company.

Lisa Henson thought that the buildings were a lovable hodge-podge of quirky unusual spaces and believed that it may not be a location typical for corporate offices but felt that it was the right location for the Muppets. Henson’s son, Brian Henson, said that Chaplin’s studio was the perfect home for the Henson’s brand of classy but eccentric entertainment. Although the Muppets now belong to Disney, the studio currently holds the Henson

Recording Studios and the Henson Soundstage as well as the corporate headquarters for the Jim Henson Company and Jim Henson Creature Shop, a special/visual effects company.

The statue atop the entrance serves as one of the few reminders of the man who built the studio 100 years ago. The last time Charlie Chaplin saw the studio was when A&M still owned it. He quietly drove by the studio gates in 1972, when he visited the United States to receive an honorary Oscar award. Charlie Chaplin passed away on Christmas day in 1977 at the age of 88 in his family home in Switzerland. The legacy that he left in the entertainment world lives through his films and the small studio declared a historic monument. Not an ending but a perfect continuation, now memorialized as a 12-foot Kermit the Frog statue dressed as Chaplin’s character “The Tramp,” a fitting tribute to two legends of the entertainment industry.

house is not necessarily a home. Any structure goes through various incarnations. Some last for generations, some only briefly or until they take on a new façade, interior, purpose and identity.

Many at some point of their existence are known only as a “listing.”

In a place steeped in such historical significance as the

greater Hollywood area, there are countless homes and businesses that reflect the history or the celebrity of this special corner of the world. In the Los Feliz area in particular, homes of the early film pioneers and business moguls dot its hillsides. The goings on of early inhabitants give an area its cache or its notoriety. From Los Feliz to Beverly Hills and beyond, there’s no shortage of stories about who lived or lives somewhere.

No less significant is the mark that some of these personages have made on our culture. Max Factor coining the term “make-up” for instance.

The story of the irrepressible Forrest J. Ackerman is a case in point.

Ackerman, seen above in 1965, was described by his peers as “one of a kind.”

The former Ackerman home, or “Ackermansion,” once filled to the rafters with memorabilia, has now been updated to its original spacious elegance.

“One of a kind,” may be cliché, but is true in Hollywood where talent and personality often result in the unique and incomparable. Such is the story of Forrest J. Ackerman.

A native Angeleno, schooled at University of California Berkeley, first and foremost Ackerman was a fan—a fan of science fiction and monster movies who would become a leading expert on science fiction, horror and fantasy films—and be acknowledged as the world's most avid collector of genre books and movie memorabilia.

Ackerman saw his first "imagi-movie" in 1922 (One Glorious Day), purchased his first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, in 1926 at ten and created the Boys' Scientifiction Club in 1930. He contributed to both of the first science fiction fanzines, The Time Traveler and the Science Fiction Magazine, published and edited by Shuster and Siegel of Superman fame, in 1932, and his name was used for the character of the reporter in the original Superman story, The Reign of the Superman, issue 3 of Science Fiction magazine. At 15, after writing 62 times to Carl Laemmle, president of Universal Studios, the mogul directed his staff to “give this kid any-

thing he wants.” He chose the sound discs of early great films like Murders in the Rue Morgue and Frankenstein.

His collection began and grew and grew. All because fortunately he was in an area—Hollywood—where the fantastic filmmaking, in which he was so interested, gave him the opportunity to collect these things.

He was one of the early members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and remained active in it for many decades.

During his career as a literary agent, Ackerman represented such science fiction authors as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, A.E. Van Vogt, Curt Siodmak and L. Ron Hubbard. For more than seven decades, he was one of science fiction's staunchest spokesmen and promoters influencing such writers and filmmakers through the years as Ed Wood, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, to name a few.

Ackerman was the editor and principal writer of the American magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland, as well as an actor, from the 1950s into the 21st century. He appears in several documentaries related to this period in popular culture.

Continues on page 60 Ackerman didn’t lack for interesting visitors, seen above with Vincent Price and above left with a young Stephen King.

Gwen Butcher Shop

A

&Restaurant

decade-long dream for Aussies Curtis and Luke Stone, Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant was inspired by its namesake—the brothers’ maternal grandmother who lived on a farm outside of Melbourne. It was on Gwen’s farm where they were first exposed to livestock farming, which instilled in them a great respect for the process of raising animals for food. Through Curtis’ cooking career, he has maintained an appreciation for primitive cooking methods and whole animal utilization, which are celebrated throughout the culinary program at Gwen.

Gwen’s butcher shop is inspired by European neighborhood butchers: bringing back traditional butchery practices and using only the best quality products and working directly with customers to guide them in finding cuts, preparing, cooking, and serving products. The shop is open for retail during the day and also serves as the heartbeat of the restaurant’s menu. Pristine cuts and handcrafted butcher items are displayed in cases, while larger

Dynamic duo behind Gwen, brothers Luke and Curtis Stone.

cuts and charcuterie are hung in the custom-built dry-age room that separates the butcher shop from the dining room. Prime and rare breed meats, poultry, house-made charcuterie, sausages, dry cures, and dry-aged meat are processed in-house for a world-class experience.

Set in a 1920’s old Hollywood Spanish-revival building, Curtis and Luke sought to bring together the craft of the butcher and the knowledge of the chef. Gwen’s Europeanstyle butcher shop aims to deliver the best in class for quality, taste, and service. The restaurant’s a la carte menu showcases a mix of individually-plated and shared dishes including charcuterie from the butcher shop; classic and innovative vegetable and 28 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / SPRING 2018

pasta dishes; and beautiful meats prepared with primitive fire-cooking methods over the in-house fire pit and asador.

A star in his own right, chef Curtis Stone’s media career began in 2002. While he was Head Chef at Quo Vadis, he was included as one of London’s finest chefs in the book, London on a Plate, for which he made his first television appearances. This exposure sparked his television and media career in the UK, Australia and the United States. He has appeared on a number of top rated programs including Take Home Chef (TLC), Top Chef Masters (Bravo) and most recently as a mentor on Food Network’s All-Star Academy. Curtis is the co-host of My Kitchen Rules on FOX, which launched in the US in January 2017 after having been the No. 1 entertainment show in Australia for five consecutive years. He hosted his first season of Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking on PBS. Curtis is Head Judge on Top Chef Junior, an extension of the NBC Top Chef franchise, alongside host Vanessa Lachey, which is currently in its second season. Curtis is a New York Times bestselling author with six cookbooks, his most recent titled, Good Food, Good Life, and is a regular contributor to several magazines and television shows in the United States and Australia.

At the entrance to the restaurant the array of marbled meats and premium poultry sets the tone and anticipation that you are about to

BELOW: Before entering the elegant dining room, take a minute to browse the butcher shop. embark on a culinary adventure. Yet, it is the restaurant’s décor that enhances the experience. Created by another brother-team, Evan and Oliver Haslegrave of Home Studios, the stunning space channels old world Hollywood glamour with a modern, one of-a-kind execution.

The lunch menu includes tasty sandwiches and the bar is becoming a favorite gathering space for nearby businesses with its popular Happy Hour (and a half—5-6:30 p.m. weeknights)

and dollar oysters. But the main event is dinner.

Meat, of course, is Gwen’s tour de force, but vegetarians and non-meat eaters have nothing to be concerned about as they peruse the varied menu.

Homemade pasta dishes such as Chestnut Agnolotti or White Onion Veloute Squash, Brown Butter, Almond are among the many selections.

The butcher shop is open daily from 10:00 a.m. where you can consult with chef minded butchers and view a vast range of premium quality products from the U.S. and beyond as well as skillfully produced items such as charcuterie, sausages and cook-ready foods. The restaurant is open for dinner 5:00 pm to 10:30 p.m. at 6600 Sunset Boulevard; valet parking. DH

Spring Reading Elizabeth Taylor: Tribute to a Legend is a book of quotes exploring the many ides of the one-and-only Elizabeth Taylor. In her time, she was perceived as a celebrity, an actress, a siren and a champion for causes. In this book she is described in the words of others from the stars of yesterday to the celebrities of today. Illustrated with over thirty rare photographs, this book is a fitting memento of a true film legend. Author Boze Hadleigh’s compilation of hundreds of quotes broken into four chapters: The Legend, The Actress, The Siren and The Woman. There’s a bonus chapter Epilogue with quotes of the woman herself. A must have for any Elizabeth Taylor fan.

By the time Stagecoach made John Wayne a silver-screen star in 1939, the 31-year-old was already a veteran of more than sixty films. By the 1950s he was Hollywood’s most popular actor—an Academy Award nominee destined to become an American icon. Through rare photographs and revealing family anecdotes, The Young Duke: The Early Life of John Wayne offers an unflinching look at how Marion Morrison became the legend known as John Wayne. Shedding new light on Wayne’s formative years and early Hollywood roles and influences, this stirring biography by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss uncovers the true stories behind the screen legend’s public and private lives.

Inside the Star Wars Empire is the very funny and insightful tell-all about the two decades author Bill Kimberlin spent as a department director at LucasFilm Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the special effect studio founded by the legendary filmmaker George Lucas.

Kimberlin may refer to himself as “one of those names on the endless list of credits at the close of blockbuster movies,” but in reality, he’s a true insider on some of the most celebrated and popular movies and

franchises of the past century— Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump and, of course, Star Wars.

Packed into 253 pages, The Warner Loughlin Technique: An Acting Revolution written by the coach herself, empowers the actor to create rich, nuanced and unique characters. Her technique has been used to help create remarkable performances from actors such as Amy Adams, Ryan Reynolds, Kyra Sedgwick and countless other Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominees and winners.

Known for her warmth and intuitive approach, Warner Loughlin’s technique shatters the myth that an actor’s past emotional traumas must be the fuel or foundation for their work. Her technique is imaginative, practical and psychologically deep, giving actors a safe and effective way to access emotion and create extremely nuanced and unique performances.

“It means so much to so many. It is both a place and a thing that seemingly calls and speaks to people…because my career as an actor is working in Hollywood, I too am part of the chase of this illusive quest.”

Keegan Allen is a Hollywood native, growing up in a world that millions visit and many more imagine. An actor with a busy career that includes seven years on the hit series Pretty Little Liars and roles in films directed by James Franco and Gia Coppola, Allen also is a lifelong photographer. Turning his eye and camera to the place he knows best, his book Hollywood: Photos and Stories from Foreverland captures the essence of the place, its secret local hideaways and the faces of those who live on the fringe of celebrity. This photo journal is both an examination of its iconic history and a contemporary look at Hollywood today. DH

Why I Love Hollywood

Discover Hollywood Special Report

by Steve Tyrell

M

y first taste of Hollywood came in 1970 when I was invited to attend the Academy Awards.

For a kid from Houston trying to make it in the music business, this was a big deal! I was living in New York at the time, working alongside Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their iconic song, “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,” from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was nominated for (and won) Best Original Song. It was sung by my life-long buddy from Houston, B.J. Thomas, who I signed to the label I worked for at the time, Scepter Records. He was asked to perform on the Oscar telecast, so B.J. and I flew out for the ceremony and we were seated right next to Raquel Welch! It was Hollywood, just like I pictured it!

A few years later, I’d move to the west coast. My office was on the famed Sunset Blvd., right across the street from The Source, where I’d go for lunch daily. Those days and those establishments are long gone, but I still have a big place in my heart for Hollywood.

My favorite place to go, not only to perform, but to hear great music is Catalina’s Jazz Club. Catalina is a friend and she keeps jazz music alive in Los Angeles. After my gigs, I love to head over to Rao’s for authentic, drop-dead delicious New York Italian food. Hollywood is my go-to town for music and meatballs! What more could an Italian guy from Houston want?

Grammy Award-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell, with over four decades of experience in the music business, has achieved great success as an artist, producer, songwriter, music supervisor and performer. He also hosts the popular Steve Tyrell Show 5pm-8pm weeknights on KKJZ radio. DH

t’s snow season around the rest of the country, but in Hollywood, it’s Awards Season... a time to be merry and joyful even if we can’t play in the c o l d , white, fluffy stuff.

During the month of Dec e m b e r, several films will be released in limited engagements “for Academy Award Consideration” so they are eligible for 2014 voting. As we become more aware of the major contenders, it’s always fun to start watching to see how many awards shows there are to celebrate them,

Oscar’s Hollywood

S

ince the opening of the METRO Redline subway in 2000 running from Downtown Los Angeles to North Hollywood, Hollywood has seen a revitalization that continues today. In recent years, the area has become the live/work environment that urban planners have been seeking. The addition of over one million square feet of office space, over 5,000 apartment homes, and 700+ hotel rooms has created a mix of uses that makes for a very vibrant community.

With the Walk of Fame, Hollywood Sign and TCL Chinese Theatre, tourism is still big business in Hollywood attracting over ten million visitors annually and combined with the growing resident/workplace population retail has been on the upswing.

The workplace population has been enhanced by the arrival of Netflix with 900 employees, Viacom’s 700 employees, Neuehouse, a New York operator of avantgarde communal office space and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation added to the ever-growing Hollywood work force.

The addition of over 500,000 SF of retail in various projects has brought with it retailers such as Trader Joe’s, two Marshalls stores, PetSmart, CVS Pharmacy, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Walgreens and numerous restaurants.

It is evident by the number of proposed development projects that “Hollywood is the Place”. There are over one dozen projects in the planning stages that are expected to add over 500,000 SF of office space, another 7,000+ apartment homes, 750,000 SF of retail space and 2,000 additional hotel rooms, with 510 rooms coming online this year.

The historic intersection of Hollywood & Vine depicted in movies has been central to Hollywood’s revitalization. Home to Capitol Records and historic Pantages, Montalban and Avalon Theatres, the corner has been energized by the ad-

dition of the W Hotel, the Redbury (soon to reopen as the h.Club Los Angeles) and the Kimpton Everly hotel with 216 rooms last year. With the renovation of the 8-story Taft building—Hollywood’s first high-rise office building and the nearby Eastown mixed-use project with 1,000 apartments over retail, development continues to deliver more residents/employees/visitors to the area.

This continued investment in Hollywood coupled with easy access to public transportation, historic resources, and proximity to the entertainment industry makes Hollywood central to the future growth of Los Angeles.

Birthplace of Sci-Fi Continued from Page 21

Ackerman was central to the formation, organization and spread of science fiction fandom and a key figure in the wider cultural perception of science fiction as a literary, art and film genre and credited with coining the term “sci-fi.” In 1953, he was voted "#1 Fan Personality" by the members of the World Science Fiction Society, a unique Hugo Award never granted to anyone else.

Forrest J Ackerman amassed an extremely large and complete collection of science fiction, fantasy and horror film memorabilia, which, until 2002, he maintained in a remarkable 18-room home and museum containing some 300,000 books and pieces of movie and science-fiction memorabilia. From 1951 to 2002, Ackerman entertained some 50,000 fans at open houses—on one such evening, a group of 186 fans and professionals included astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

The years and health concerns added up and Ackerman had to sell pieces of his collection ultimately moving into a small bungalow in the flats of Los Feliz where he continued to hold court and open his house to those who wished to see what re60 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / SPRING 2018

mained of his collection. Ackerman was a board member of the Seattle Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, where many items of his collection are now displayed.

Except for the exterior, Ackerman’s hillside home is unrecognizable today. No longer stacked to the rafters with books, magazines and assorted movie memorabilia. When this house became a “listing,” realtor Lyonel Katz wanted help keep this piece of Hollywood history alive in his marketing. He displayed photos of the Ackermansion and letters to this remarkable man whose collection and magazine influenced the art of countless writers and filmmakers.

Since his passing in 2008, it would not be an exaggeration to say that today science fiction, fantasy, monsters, horror and the supernatural are definitely a “force” within the industry that spawned it. DH
