LA is a company town. Every neighborhood, park and graveyard has been lived, played and mourned in by the crazy performers and technicians who make our celluloid dreams. So if you’re getting attacked by the dirty Elmo outside Grauman’s, take heart: bits of movie history can be found on more scenic streets. And if there seems to be a preponderance of graveyards, sorry, but the closest you’ll ever get to many of your idols is when they’re six feet under.
Paramount Ranch: From 1927 to 1997, Paramount Ranch was home to many a prostitute, cowboy, gambler and sigh, the one and only Gary Cooper. Thousands of hours of film and television were filmed there, most recently that old favorite,” Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.” The ranch is now a national park nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. The original Main Street set is still intact and there are great hiking trails and plenty of open space for running and picnics. It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon with the kiddos.
2903 Cornell Rd., Agoura HillsHollywood Forever: In the 1920s silent stars had the delusion – probably aided by illegal liquor – that they were gods and goddesses. Hollywood Forever Cemetery, right behind Paramount Studios, is home to their eternal temples (literally, there is a Grecian temple in the middle of a man-made lake). A beautiful, tree-draped park, it is the final resting place of Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille and Tyrone Power. Throw in an old Jewish and more recent Eastern European and Tibetan sections and you have the history of Los Angeles in one city block. It is also home to the hugely popular Cinespace series, where classic movies are shown on the side of a mausoleum while hipsters get drunk.

After reading this post on Tumblangeles this morning, I decided to go out and see Paramount Ranch for myself. It was early and it wasn’t too far away. I loaded up some lunch and water and my dog and we sent out for the BEAUTIFUL HILLS OF AGOURA.
Paramount Ranch was purchased by Paramount Studios in 1927 and used as a Western pictures set throughout the next thirty years. John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Abraham Lincoln, Rudyard Kipling’s Left Hand, Bill Paxton’s Future Great Grandson, Walt Disney Reanimated as Leaves and Stones… all of them filmed Westerns here.
Now it’s a state park with hiking trails. It was a hundred degrees up there today so I had to carry Albee back down like my son who’d been shot in the hills by a ruthless outlaw.
awesome.
Love Crystal Castles!!
The reason he tells you last (at times) is simply a matter of pride. He always wants to look competent in your eyes.
Four of his buddies can tell him he is an idiot on a matter of importance and for the most part, he’ll probably shrug their comments off and think they are the moron’s. But things change when it comes to you. Don’t ever forget this: How you think of him, is his air.
When you let him feel good about his decisions, right or wrong, it affirms him on a level that I can’t really explain. The more you do this, the more open and vulnerable he will be, and the earlier he will discuss most everything with you. This is how great relationships are built…and last forever
