“Forgotten Hollywood”- A Day at the Alley in Pictures…
Manny P. here…
“`A great time was had by all who attended the dedication ceremony of the newest landmark in Hollywood: Chaplin–Keaton–Lloyd Alley at 1640 Cahuenga Boulevard. This iconic location was the backdrop during the Silent Era in many movies and two-reelers. The most famous of these productions made at this locale include The Kid, Cops, and Safety Last.
“`A little clambake preceded the ceremony. The dedication featured remarks from members of Hollywood Heritage including Board President Brian Curran and boardmember and President of Cinecon film festival, Stan Taffel. Also in attendance, Los Angeles City Councilman and the new President Pro-Tempore Mitch O’Farrell. Offering heartfelt remarks were grandchildren of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Jackie Coogan, and Harold Lloyd.
