The Garden's residents witnessed the unfolding evolution of Hollywood and actively participated in it.How has writing these novels changed your view of this golden age that we perceive as the greatest era of film productionL.A. was a much less densely populated city. Consequently, all movie industry workers were far more likely to know each other. People moved from MGM to Paramount to 20th Century-Fox to RKO to Warner Bros. Two or three degrees of separation were usually enough!Why did you not change the names of the major players to suit your storyThe whole point of recounting the history of Hollywood through the eyes of the Garden's residents was because so many celebrities lived there. Harpo Marx and Sergei Rachmaninoff were neighbors, F. Scott Fitzgerald played charades with Dorothy Parker, Errol Flynn got drunk, Ginger Rogers was always looking for a tennis partner, and Bogart courted Bacall. Why tell it if I'm going to change the namesDo you think stories set in old Hollywood are becoming more popular because of Turner Classic MoviesYes! TCM has produced a whole new audience for them.
