The identity of this woman waiting on the corner of Hollywood and Vine is lost to the mystery of time, but I’m wondering if she had just booked a ticket at the American Airlines office that opened in the corner office of the Equitable Building in 1955.

MGM’s “Something of Value” starring Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier is playing down the street at the Pantages Theatre, which came out in June of 1957. The corner now has a different sign alerting passersby that they’re at Hollywood and Vine, and it’s nice but there’s something classy and timeless about that golden ribbon above the woman’s head that I wish was still there.
