Owner of the Faux Library Studio Props, Marc E. Meyer, is credited as the inventor of the faux book. Meyer's prop house - which provides fake books, real books, antique furniture, and other record for film and TV sets - is among a number of SoCal prop houses that are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood actors and writers strikes. Meyer needs to raise $100,000 by February 1, 2023, before he has to vacate the premises and surrender everything inside. We interviewed Marc last week and took a tour of his amazing prop house to help raise awareness. If you can help Marc, please donate below, and please don't forget to like and subscribe so we can continue making the Dead in Hollywood web series! Thanks as always.

Go behind the sign to the night Divine died in a Hollywood hotel room. Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine, was the larger-than-life star of many of director John Waters’ movies. A female impersonator from Baltimore, Milstead went from touring the underground midnight circuit to starring in Water’s unforgettable and trashy films of the 1970s and 80s. Celebrated as the “Queen of Trash” during his lifetime, Divine was a bit of an unknown to wider audiences at the time of his death at the age of 42. This is Dead in Hollywood, and This is Divine! Let’s go behind the sign.
Go behind the sign and on location to the Hollywood Knickerbocker Apartments (formally the Knickerbocker Hotel). The Knickerbocker was once the Hotel of the Stars, but as Hollywood Blvd. declined, it dragged the Knickerbocker down with it. It cycled from upscale apartment, to glamorous celebrity hotel, to a deteriorated residence for drug addicts and prostitutes, and finally to housing for seniors.
If you believe the stories, ghosts roam its halls. The massive art deco chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the lobby is the only remaining relic of the Knickerbocker’s once dazzling past. If you stare at it long enough, you might just be transported back to the days of Hollywood Land. Please don't forget to like & subscribe!

Walking the Walk of Fame with Adam Papagan ("Cool L.A. Tours") & David Castro ("Dead in Hollywood") is a new web series on the secrets of Hollywood Blvd. On this episode, Adam and David visit The Four Ladies of Hollywood landmark, the gateway to the Walk of Fame. I drove past the Four Ladies so many times before I really noticed it. Truth be told, I kind of viewed the stainless steel gazebo as an eyesore and not the gateway to Hollywood as it was intended to be. It’s kinda falling apart. If you look closely, you’ll see some cracks, but behind those cracks and the controversy over the landmark, are 5 of the most interesting women in Hollywood you will ever meet.
