Sunday Night At Chasen’s

Back in the late seventies if you wanted to photograph big stars all you had to do was to stand out in front of Chasen’s on a Sunday evening. Everyone from Frank Sinatra to George Harrison was there for the amazing fried chicken and chili. Paparazzi competition? Almost none. There were about three regulars there including Bob Michaelson, Bill Holtz, Darlene Hamond and Ron Galella if he happened to be in town. The best part was that all of the paparazzi got along. No fighting, no cursing or chasing. If you want to see the remnants of the old Chasen’s there is a portion of the original booths still standing inside of Bristol Farms at the original Dohney and Beverly Blvd location.
