The Hotel Knickerbocker just off Hollywood Boulevard has no end of the infamously infamous attached to its name. On Halloween 1936, Harry Houdini’s widow held her tenth séance to contact the magician on the roof of the hotel. Actress Frances Farmer was arrested in her room at the hotel in 1943, after skipping a visit with her parole officer. Director D. W. Griffith died in the lobby of the hotel in 1948. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio often met in the hotel bar. Elvis Presley stayed at the hotel while filming “Love Me Tender.” In 1962 celebrated Hollywood costume designer Irene committed suicide by jumping from her 11th floor room window.
