The Day of the Locust (1975)
Where is the apartment building?
I have searched and searched but cannot find the location of the apartment building where Todd and Faye live. Does anyone have any clues? From the surrounding hills it could be Silver Lake, Echo Park, Highland Park or actually many places around Los Angeles. I read somewhere that it was near Paramount off of Melrose but I don't see how that is possible unless they used special effects for the surrounding landscape. My next step is to go to the Margaret Herrick film library on La Cienega and try to find something in the production notes for the film. The building might have been demolished but I want to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The Shrike (1955)
Isabel Bonner....played it until the end!
June Allyson is really good in this movie but Isabel Bonner should be given some credit also. Especially when she was married to the writer and died playing her part. I wonder how much time went by between filming the movie and her death.
(July 2, 1955) ACTRESS DROPS DEAD ON CARTHAY CIRCLE STAGE The final curtain fell on the Carthay Circle Theater stage last night for Isabel Bonner, New York stage and television actress, who collapsed and died as she played a hospital bed scene with Actor Dane Clarck in "The Shrike." Miss Bonner, 47, who in private life is the wife of Joseph Kramm, author of "The Shrike," was seated by the bedside of Clark when she suddenly fell forward with her head down on the spread.
