L.A. Woman Tours

L.A. Woman Tours L.A. Woman focuses on the landmarks associated with legendary movie star Marilyn Monroe and 1960s rock band The Doors. Few can make such a claim.

At first glance it seems like they’re worlds apart. But magic happens in many forms and these are just two examples. A Marilyn Monroe tour and a Doors tour take different looks at the city, but are equally significant in their own unique ways. The stories of Marilyn Monroe and The Doors could have only begun here in L.A. and both reflect the times of which they were a part. And yet they have touch

ed the lives and imaginations of millions and remain timeless. Now you can see where and how these L.A. people became global icons.

Remembering the great Jayne Mansfield, who left us on this day in 1967. She remains one of the great bombshells of the Hollywood era, but she was also smart, innovative, and a devoted mother. Hopefully, more people will be exposed to her through her daughter Mariska Hargitay’s new documentary, My Mom Jayne.

Jack Lemmon appreciation post! He passed away on June 27, 2001, and you have probably never heard a bad word about him. In an industry that has seen its fair share of broken people, poor judgment, backstabbing, and sometimes deviant behavior, Jack Lemmon was the epitome of talent, kindness, and professionalism. He showed up on time, knew his lines, hit his marks, and treated his colleagues with respect. In the process, he turned in one stellar performance after another. He was genuine and one of a kind. The great writer-director Billy Wilder once said happiness was working with Jack Lemmon—there is no higher praise!

Marilyn and Jane made Hollywood history on this day in 1953 when they put their hands and feet in wet cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. They were promoting their movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but both women had grown up in Los Angeles so it was an especially meaningful day. Marilyn in particular spent part of her childhood within walking distance of the famous theatre and loved trying to fit her little hands and feet into the prints of her heroes. Today, the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes concrete blocks are the most visited spot at one of LA’s busiest tourist destinations.

Judy Judy Judy! Judy Garland passed away on June 22, 1969, in London, and the world still has a Judy-sized hole in it. She was one of a kind. It’s difficult to talk about Judy without resorting to cliches about how special she is—and yet she is worthy of every compliment and ounce of praise she receives. She really was born to be an entertainer and no one else comes close.

It wouldn’t be June 20 if I didn’t wish this handsome devil a happy birthday! John Taylor of Duran Duran was born June 20, 1960, in Birmingham, England. He is my first husband (as far as I’m concerned) and splits him time between England and Los Angeles. He lives in LA to be closer to me (as far as I’m concerned).

Happy birthday to one of Hollywood’s greatest leading men—Errol Flynn! Most of his roles were what would now qualify him as an “action star,” but he handled drama and comedy with authority. He was a hero to men and heartthrob to women. Born in Tasmania on June 20, 1909, Errol Flynn spent his youth traveling the world thanks to his father, Theodore, who was a world-renowned marine biologist. As a result, Errol grew up loving travel, adventure, sports and the sea, just like the characters he would one day portray.

We lost one of our own today—Brian Wilson will forever be one of LA’s favorite sons. By all accounts, he was a musical genius. It’s a word thrown around too often these days, but with Brian it applies. Thank you for everything.
With love,
A California Girl
