L.A. Woman Tours

Directions

L.A. Woman Tours L.A. Woman focuses on the landmarks associated with legendary movie star Marilyn Monroe and 1960s rock band The Doors. Few can make such a claim.

At first glance it seems like they’re worlds apart. But magic happens in many forms and these are just two examples. A Marilyn Monroe tour and a Doors tour take different looks at the city, but are equally significant in their own unique ways. The stories of Marilyn Monroe and The Doors could have only begun here in L.A. and both reflect the times of which they were a part. And yet they have touched the lives and imaginations of millions and remain timeless. Now you can see where and how these L.A. people became global icons.

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN: Released as a silent film in 1925, The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney was a watershed moment in cinema and remains a benchmark in horror. The movie’s premise is based on Gaston Leroux’s book about Erik, a grotesquely disfigured musical genius. Universal bought the movie right specifically for Lon Chaney, who personally designed the makeup. Of all the Phantom productions, Chaney’s makeup comes the closest to the description of Erik in the original novel.

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN with birthday girl Rita Hayworth! Born Margarita Carmen Cansino to a showgirl and famed Spanish dancer, little Margarita inherited her father’s talent and grew into a superb dancer in her own right. Her first husband pushed her into a film career and she became “Rita Hayworth,” one of the most popular actresses and pinups of the 1940s. What she really longed for, however, was a quiet life with a family. Nicknamed “the Love Goddess,” Rita often portrayed sexy parts and femme fatale roles but in real life she was painfully shy and gentle natured.

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN Valeska Suratt was an accomplished stage and silent movie actress, but only photos of her remain. None of her movies are known to survive due to the 1937 fire on the Fox lot. These film reels were highly flammable, and as a result most silent movies no longer exist. Today, Suratt is known for her mysterious and gothic style portraits.
