'A must-read for anyone interested in the rich and racy history of
Tinseltown' Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild 'I want to live inside
this book!' Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & The
Six For nearly ninety years, Hollywood's brightest stars have
favoured the Chateau Marmont as a home away from home. It is a
place filled with deep secrets but is hidden in plain sight, and
its evolution parallels the growth of Hollywood itself. Perched
above the Sunset Strip like a fairy-tale castle, the Chateau seems
to come from another world entirely. An
apartment-house-turned-hotel, it has been the backdrop for
generations of gossip and folklore: 1930s bombshell Jean Harlow
took lovers during her third honeymoon there; director Nicholas Ray
slept with his sixteen-year-old Rebel Without a Cause star Natalie
Wood; Anthony Perkins and Tab Hunter met poolside and began a
secret affair; Jim Morrison swung from the balconies, once nearly
falling to his death; John Belushi suffered a fatal overdose in a
private bungalow; Lindsay Lohan got the boot after racking up
nearly $50,000 in charges in less than two months. Much of what's
happened inside the Chateau's walls has eluded the public eye -
until now. With wit and prowess, Shawn Levy recounts the wild
parties and scandalous liaisons, creative breakthroughs and marital
breakdowns, births and untimely deaths that the Chateau Marmont has
given rise to. Vivid, salacious and richly informed, the book is a
glittering tribute to Hollywood as seen from the suites and
bungalows of its most hallowed hotel.
