CHATEAU MARMONT Room Photos

BACKSTORY: Movie studios rented rooms for their stars so that they could “get into trouble” away from the watchful eyes of the gossip columnists. The most famous Chateau quote comes from Columbia Pictures studio head, Harry Cohn, who told William Holden & Glenn Ford: “If you must get into trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont.” The two shared a room at the Chateau (paid for by Cohn) and took turns using it as a private getaway. Disney child star Hayley Mills stayed here while she was making Pollyanna in 1960: “We stayed in the famous Chateau Marmont hotel in those little cabins and looked down over Sunset Boulevard. I spent most of my time I think in Schwab’s, the pharmacy, sitting on those stools and having ice cream sodas and hot fudge sundaes, and getting carried away by all the comics.”
