A Cast of Caricatures
Vintage Los Angeles is
back with a new episode produced by the Ebersole Hughes Company! This
time we take you inside the Palm’s west Hollywood location before their
big move to their awesome location. I’m sure many of you have also been
wondering what happened to all those caricatures that have graced the
walls for over over 40 years. Well, VLA was there to capture all the
excitement with Angie Dickinson, Mamie Van Doren, Shecky Greene and
other dedicated customers!! We also reveal the back story of the Palm
with owners, Bruce Bozzi, and Wally Ganzi! Enjoy!
We were thrilled to interview Angie Dickinson who just happened to be there on this historical evening. I was even more blown away noticing our outfits were so similar!
With Mamie Van Dorren. Picking up her caricature on October 6th, 2014!
My father, Al Martino was one of the first caricature's to go up in 1975. What an honor to have it. As a collector of Vintage Los Angeles artifacts, this just became my most prized collection.
There's no way I'm going to ask to ride shot gun when Shaune Steele (the wife of radio legend, The Real Don Steele) is in the passenger seat with Shut Gun Kelly - disc jokey for K Earth 10. How cute that they came together!
