For more than a century, people have been drawn to sites of tragedy involving the rich, beautiful and notorious of Hollywood. Tourists at the center of the movie universe flock to Rudolph Valentino's grave, the house where Marilyn Monroe died, the "O.J. murders" condo, the hotel where John Belushi overdosed, a myriad of haunted mansions. In its extensively researched and enlarged second edition, this book tells the stories of these locations and makes finding them simple.

Seventeen driving tours include more than 650 sites. Each tour covers a specific area, from Hollywood and the Sunset Strip to Brentwood and Malibu, covering the entire Los Angeles basin. Concise, easy-to-follow directions are given to each location with 145 photos and the fascinating story behind each stop.

I purchased this kindle edition at the price listed and it was worth every penny. My dream has always been to tour Hollywood stars homes and filming locations. This book does all that and more, including addresses and driving directions. I am very familiar with Scott Michael's work and appreciated the fact he submitted the Forward in this guide. Excellent work, a definite recommendation to anyone that appreciates the happenings in the entertainment industry

Another Great Book From E.J. Fleming

I've been a fan of E.J. ever since he wrote a wonderful biography about Carole Landis. This book is full of interesting stories and fun driving tours of Hollywood. It's great to have if you like in LA or taking a trip there. I'd recommend it to all classic movie fans.

Not historically correct in so many ways...

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book has so many errors in it, it amazes me! Wrong death dates..wrong dates regarding which actor starred in what...etc. If he can't even research the correct death dates (he could have easily checked with Find A Grave) what else did he get wrong?

This guy gets SO much wrong ... !

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2019

All kinds of basic info, this guy screws up. He should have had an 11-year-old sit down at IMDb or Wikipedia and fact-check his basic facts, and give the kid a dollar for every mistake the kid found -- except the author probably couldn't AFFORD it. Now we readers are supposed to believe that this nincompoop has all the top-secret "inside stories" on decades-old Hollywood scandals?? When he can't even get the EASY, you-can-look-it-up-anywhere stuff correct? I don't know about you, but I don't want my taxes done by a guy who adds 1 plus 1 and comes up with an answer other than 2. This is an abominable book.
