This lovely maiden is sitting in an empty field in Laughlin Park (Los Feliz) and looking out over Hollywood in 1905. I wonder what she would say if we could’ve told her in just a few short years, all that open land she’s staring at would become one of the most famous places in the world.
What would she say? Perhaps, “Mr. deMille, I’m ready for my close up.” But C. B. at that was acting on Broadway, and closeups in the flicks had not yet been discovered. But wow, what a wonderful opportunity to purchase real estate that soon would be worth $$ and $$$ and how many times $?
