Sarlot, Raymond. Life at the Marmont, The Inside Story of Hollywood’s Legendary Hotel of the Stars—Chateau Marmont. First Edition, First Printing. 1987. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows a minor tear and light rubbing.
Hollywood is made of fairytales. Most of them will cruelly disappoint you in the end. The exception is the hillside castle that has presided over the Sunset Strip since the late 1920s. This book is a record of the extraordinary and diverse group of celebrities who have stayed there or called it home, such as Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate, Jim Morrison, Dorothy Parker, and Edith Piaf. Written twenty years ago when many longtime staff members were still living, the book captures a treasure trove of great stories that could just have easily dissolved into the ether.
“Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the Marmont guest list read like the Manhattan phone directory.”
