Hollywood’s golden age alive and kicking at retirement home
Connie Sawyer ... young at heart
Los Angeles - Arab Today
Johnny Weissmuller was said to walk the grounds of this retirement home letting out his trademark Tarzan yell.
Another resident wistfully recalls missing out on a date with Marilyn Monroe, while a third has stories about “Walt” or “Frank” — that is Walt Disney or Frank Sinatra.
Hollywood’s golden age may be long gone but it’s still very much alive and kicking at this retirement community north of Los Angeles, where a who’s who of the industry reside.
Here, you can meet a set director who worked on “Doctor Zhivago” or “Mutiny on the Bounty,” a film researcher who worked on “Star Trek,” “Chinatown” and “Fiddler on the Roof,” or a 103-year old actress who knew Sinatra and recently auditioned for a horror flick.
