The latest 'Red Room' podcast episode was about Kenneth Anger's book 'Hollywood Babylon', which I have read and used to own, before I gave it away to a secondhand bookstore recently>;-)
"The book's 1975 [the Year of the Rabbit] edition featured graphic images such as the scene of the traffic accident that killed Jayne Mansfield, a photograph of Carole Landis after her suicide, images of director and screenwriter Paul Bern following his suicide, a photograph of Lewis Stone as he lay dying on a sidewalk, and uncensored images of the Black Dahlia's corpse."Once Upon a Time in HOLLYWOODLAND?

"A young idealistic civil servant, Arvid Falk, leaves the drudgery of bureaucracy to become a journalist and author. As he explores various social activities—politics, publishing, theatre, philanthropy, and business—he finds more hypocrisy and political corruption than he thought possible. He takes refuge with a group of "bohemians", who meet in a red dining room in Berns Salonger to discuss these matters."
