It was a pretty scary place in some ways. Had to chain the hood of the car
down, so the junkies wouldn't steal the battery.

I read a news piece not long ago about some stars who of course have to
travel through Hollywood to get to the studios. Most have armored cars with
1/2" thick tempered, multilaminate glass. Lots of gang activity, especially
Mexican, in West Hollywood these days. Some actors and actresses won't take
roles that need to be shot in the studios there. They'll only work on
location elsewhere.
