I love hearing the old pronounciation of Los Angeles in this interview. My grandmother, born in LA in 1930, pronounced it that way up until the day she died.

Me and a couple of old high school buds snuck into the basement in the 2nd underground level its hidden behind a dumpster.. They hid old relics downstairs in the dark. Beautiful windows and chandeliers but you have to cross a decaying staircase. The photo of the ballroom reminds me of down there. We also found bullet casings and what look like a furnace.

I live in Minta's former home in LA. N. Coronado St. We have photo of her at @7:46 framed and it hangs on our home.

Great interview and some true Hollywood history. Being a huge Rudolph Valentino fan I loved the part where his name came up. It seems both of these silent actresses couldn't get over his beautiful eyes. :)
