Trip to L.A.

Hello, everyone. Well, I went up to L.A. this weekend, starting on Thursday and came back yesterday afternoon. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet two online friends who are classic movie fans like me. I have known them almost a year and it was an amazing experience I will never forget! 


While I was there, I saw several things related to Roz--her grave, her house, her footprints and handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theater, her star on the Walk of Fame, and the church she went to, which was down a few blocks from her house. It was really fun and here are some pictures of those things...










And YES, this huge thing is all Roz's grave!

  4. @Jean: Yes, unfortunately, the last time I was there, I wasn't a fan of Roz's, but this time, it was just even better than any other time because I was with people who were also classic movie fans.... so I didn't feel I was forcing them to go to all these places. They were more than glad to.

    @April: Ahhhh, great!!!! I hope you make it over here soon and see all these things :)

    @Clara: I hope you do come someday.... I took many pictures, these are just some of the Roz ones. haha. And thanks... I took about 200!

  5. Oh, also, I forgot to add.... I went to the most amazing store ever in Hollywood, which is full of stills (you can go up to the counter and ask for all the pictures they have of a certain actor/actress) and screenplays, books on classic movies/actors, posters, vintage movie magazines... it was heaven :) I bought 4 stills of Roz with her son and the Auntie Mame screenplay.

  6. Great pics! Yeah I think I know what store you're talking about. I bought a photo of Jimmy Stewart there. The guy pulled out a whole file folder with photos to choose from!
