The Hollywood Dream 1965 Vintage Los Angeles

I was a kid in 65'. Definately a better time than today.

To hear Joseph Cotten’s “Hollywood And The Stars” mellifluous voice is a treat in itself!!!

Sad how fast time flies...This is over a half century old...Almost EVERY adult in this film is either dead or else very old in this film. Still, interesting how modern or universal it resonates even today despite taking place in the ever growing distant past.

Back when Hollywood was a dream. In fact, THE dream for so many. I thank God I grew up when I did.

Compared to it's past Image. Hollywood is a tough cold place with lots of hustlers and indifference.

00:34 the Beverly Hillbillies Mansion.

For anyone who doesn't know, Jay Sebring was one of the unfortunate victims of the Manson murders in August 1969.

I was two years old in 1965 and lived with my family in Whittier, California, around 40 minutes away from “tinsel town” (Hollywood).

Really enjoyed watching this, Alison :-D :-D Reminders of growing up in the Southern California of the 60's.

Jay Sebring (real name Thomas Kummer) learned to cut hair while in the Navy.

Jay Sebring was the original Hollywood/Beverly Hills Hairstylist To The Stars . Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen all had that signature style referred to “The Beverly Hills Style” . This style was common in the mid to late 1960’s before long hair & shags took over. The house where he was murdered in was rented out to Roman Polanski. The previous owner was a music producer, Terry P. Melcher . Manson was a naive kid. He didn’t know Melcher was blowing smoke up his ass so he sought after him with vengeance and sharp knives . Typical loser , Manson was .

Alison, this is so great... it's BH as I remember her as a little kid! OMG! at 35 seconds in, the Clampett Mansion! THANKS!
