THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL and the COCOANUT GROVE RESTAURANT
which was inside the hotel... the restaurant in where more than one famous actress was discovered. It's décor featured monkey's with glowing red eyes hanging from trees.
(For a wonderful recreation of the Cocoanut Grove Restaurant check out scenes in the film THE AVIATOR starring Leonardo DiCaprio! and if you're interested in Howard Hughes, see my posts on Faith Domergue!)
The 500 room Ambassador Hotel, which is also well known as the place in which Robert Kennedy was assassinated, was torn down in February of 2006 after 84 years on the site, having never been officially declared a historical landmark in the city of Los Angeles.
