[@debbieclark7031]

I could listen to your storytelling all day long. I appreciate the history you keep alive and your honesty about the situation. Can't wait for the next Vlog.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I miss living in Hollywood and seeing all of these historic sites each day. Great tour, Scott!

[@henrygonzalez504]

Scott. The building to the right of the RKO Studios was where I worked from 1970-1973. It was KHJ. Radio and Television, channel 9. I worked on the radio side with THE REAL DON STEEL, ROBERT W. MORGAN IN THE MORNING, CHARLIE TUNA and so many others. I used to have lunch at the EL ADOBE often with REGIS PHILIN who had a show called TEMPO co staring RUTA LEE. It was basically the same show he did later with KATHY LEE. I lived at the Paramount Apartments on Van Ness for 6 months and used to walk right in front of the original Paramount gates every day. I was sorry to hear you say that the Valentino Building was going to be torn down. I remember wanting to rent an apartment there soon after getting the gig at KHJ. They had a waiting list of one year so I saved my money and moved to Newport Beach instead. Of course you know that THE NICKODEL LOUNGE was just to the right of KHJ. I have so many memories of being there with DON STEEL and sometimes with MARTIN LANDAU. What GREAT memories. Thanks Scott. Love your channel.

[@patriciamedina2007]

Oh my, Henry! You knew Martin Landau? Tell all you know!

Patricia Medina Not a lot to tell. I met him through Peter Lupus, a friend, and we chatted and hit it off. He was a really nice guy, just as you might expect. I remember he took me to a party at Mike Connors’ house and he was almost the life of the party. He had so many stories. We all sang and laughed, it was a great time. He told me that night that one of his favorite life moments was when he applied to, I think he said, The Actors Studio. He told me that he really wanted it, but there were over 1000 applicants and he didn’t think he’d be accepted. He told me he was “On top of the world” when he was told he and one other actor had been accepted. BTW. The other actor accepted was Steve McQueen. I’m so happy I knew him, and still have to pinch myself that this nobody, me, got to meet and befriend so many celebrities of that era. I’ve had a great life! Thanks for asking, I enjoyed the trip through memory lane. Have fun.

[@patriciamedina2007]

@@henrygonzalez504 Thank you so much, Henry! What a wonderful anecdote. I've always liked Martin - he had such beautiful and intense eyes. I did indeed expect he was a nice guy. Imagine if you had photos to go with your recollections! You could write a book. Be well and happy.

[@henrygonzalez504]

Patricia Medina his eyes were intense, but for me it was his smile and laugh that I’ll never forget.

[@jaimedDR]

Charlie Tuna.. Now there's a name I haven't heard in many, many years.

[@joanleary]

LOVE this type of video. Thanks for including the old footage alongside yours! So neat. It’s a shame so much of old Hollywood is gone

[@temeculajoe]

Thanks for keeping my hometown alive. Was a teen in the late 60s and the strip was the place to go on the weekends

[@DearlyDepartedTours]

my dream age/time. I hope you used your time well!

[@chuckfan1]

@@DearlyDepartedTours love this particular type of video. Little nooks and crannies, locations etc. Pls do more like these. Cool little find on the Galaxy Quest alley. Thanks

[@faithbydesign]

Thank you for adding in the pics for reference! I I hate watching videos like this where they just tell you stuff but don’t give you a reference for what they’re talking about, it makes it seem so much more real and interesting so thank you for that extra bit of work.

[@twentyskillz]

Fun fact: Rose McGowan owns the RKO letters that used to be on the globe. I saw an episode of Million Dollar Listing LA a couple years ago (could've been last year) and they were auctioning off all the stuff in her house. The letters were mounted on a wall by her staircase if you want to look the episode up.

[@wonderingaloud261]

Scott is the best ...I love how he describes the most gory murders so matter of factly

[@daedralord1]

Love when you walk about Scott. Makes a change from seeing it through your tour vehicle

[@reliant8169]

Scott, you know so much about "old Hollywood" and it's reincarnations! Keep the good stuff coming -- WE LOVE IT!

[@genniejefferson4414]

I love to watch this old age stuff. Great job.

[@outsider238]

Such fascinating information. Thank you also for the clips and screen grabs for perspective. You're knowledge is unlimited!

[@cbkidd]

Thanks for some of the history of old Hollywood and RKO Studios Scott. For some reason at 57. I started to be fascinated with old Hollywood, RKO, Laurel Canyon, Sunset Boulevard, It is sad to see so much of Hollywood's history just disappearing. I live in Pa, And my only way to ever see Hollywood is by seeing videos like yours. For which I thank you. I wish I had the means to buy some of Hollywood's history like the RKO letters and other Hollywood memorabilia from being lost or destroyed and of course a few hundred acres of land to display it say like a Hollywood backlot for everyone to enjoy lol. Anyway, Scott. Thank you for keeping those Hollywood stories alive for all of us to enjoy.

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

"The first of TWO Rocky Horror references you'll hear today." I shiver, with antici....................pation.

[@peterfas]

Scott, this was extremely awesome! PLEASE do more!

[@ellenfagan4338]

Scott has a way of nailing down history with such wit & specificity. I enjoyed this so much!

[@bobc.5698]

Thanks for showing us old Hollywood before it's all gone.

[@paulahuey856]

Love Galaxy Quest!

[@debbieparker5377]

You are so good at giving us little cool details about Hollywood.

[@Liz-cmc313]

I love stories of old Hollywood. Thank you for taking your time to show old pics and video.

[@shereengougher6479]

I am a huge Rocky Horror fan and love any reference. Would love to see more on any person involved with that movie. We use to reenact every Friday night at the theater. Love, Love, Love.

[@ebearscanada1302]

I used to know Tim CURRY, he would come into my video store in Silverlake daily when he wasnt filming. Great guy , very generous with his time and signing autographs to fans

[@ralphalessandra2604]

Scott, thank you for keeping the Hollywood of the past alive. I went on your Dearly Departed tour in January of 2019. Loved it. Thanks for all you do

[@JaimeExploring]

Oh my Gosh! The Motor Scooter! 0:21 Great picture of Lucy and Desi on the Paramount door steps and Godfather the studio entrance 😀

[@BIGTODD250]

Wow!!! great video! Love and fascinated by anything Hollywood. I would like to thank you for being so respectful to Ms Lily St Cyr-the way you spoke in such a lowered voice and the said God Bless You-shows such respect and dignity. I for one appreciated that.

[@Spike643]

You are the most knowledgeable vlogger in Hollywood. I am spellbound when I watch one of your videos!! Great work.!!

[@DearlyDepartedTours]

Wow, thanks!

I highly doubt I'll ever get down to your neck of the woods, as much as I'd love to! This was awesome! Thank you so much for this! 😃

[@psychcorp4449]

To use your comment from "6 Degrees of Helter Skelter", this is endlessly fascinating. Seriously, who would have thought that Lucy's brother's name was "Fred." Learn something everyday! I could watch your videos all day long. Thank you so much. Stay safe and be well.

[@AnnMargretFan]

And Ethel Mertz was named after Lucy's good friend, Ethel Merman. Just some additional trivia...
