Late-night snacking at Audrey's Hot dog stand in Los Angeles at 3am, 1961 (William Claxton) This 1961 photograph by William Claxton is reeking with atmosphere. It was taken at Audrey’s Hotdog stand at the corner of Olympic Blvd and Alvarado St at 3am when the glamorous couple in the foreground had obviously been to some swanky soiree and needed a little nosh on the way home. Maybe they’d been dancing all night and had worked up a hunger. I’ll bet that girl had tamales, otherwise she was taking a big chance of spilling ketchup or mustard on her ballgown.
