I have only the vaguest memory of The Garden of Allah, an overdecorated hotel at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights up in Hollywood. Before they tore the place down in 1959, it was the scene of countless anecdotes, all of them a little racy and with the general theme of debauchery in the entertainment industry. One fact which always gets omitted from its story is that the same year it was closed for good, a new tenant moved in next door: The Jay Ward cartoon studio. Jay once told me, "I got to Hollywood just as it stopped being fun!"
