In the next installment of the Garden of Allah novels I’m currently working on, I have a scene set at the Mocambo, which stood at 8588 Sunset Boulevard from 1941 to 1959, and was one of the clubs during Hollywood’s heyday. I figured that its Brazilian-themed décor must have really stood out in contrast against the others clubs of the day, but I could only ever find black and white photos of its interior . . . until I came across this photo. Red walls! Green upholstery! Let’s samba!
I love seeing what these Hollywood hotspots looked like in their heyday! I spy Peter Lawford on the dance floor and with the hat check ladies! You have a great website!
