Happy New Year. Here’s to hoping for a better 2026.
Faith - by Noémia Prada (1969), Portuguese
(I shot this 3 years ago today…)
I know, I know. It’s such a cliche. It’s your birthday, so what are you gonna do? Yep. Obviously, hang out in a cemetery mausoleum and project images on the burial vault of a silent film pioneer who shares your birthday. I mean, who hasn’t done that?
Seriously though, as I said when I did this on Buster Keaton’s birthday, I did this with nothing but love and respect—hoping to bring a bit of life and joy to a place gets little other than the occasional bouquet of flowers.
Though there are varying reports on the year she was actually born (some make a case for 1892 or 1893, or as it says here 1895), Mabel was born on this day, November 9 (Me too—many decades later). Though her complicated life was tragically cut short at the age of 36 by tuberculosis, she was one of Hollywood’s most popular silent film stars, and along with Alice Guy-Blanche and Lois Weber, was a true pioneer, becoming one of the industry’s first female directors. As you may know, she even had her own studio still standing today in my neighborhood on Bates Ave (now known as Mack Sennett Studios). Mabel collaborated closely with Sennett, costarred frequently with Roscoe Arbuckle, as well as Chaplin during his earliest years at Keystone.
Happy Birthday, Mabel.
“Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit” is so savage.
Musso & Frank Grill has been a favorite haunt of Hollywood actors for over 100 years. The restaurant opened on September 27, 1919, and remains incredibly popular to this day.
When Musso & Frank opened its doors on iconic Hollywood Boulevard in 1919, it was at the center of a new universe: film entrepreneurs, new studios, rehearsal spaces, radio stations, and record labels all converged on the heart of Hollywood, so Musso's became a place for a quick bite between acting classes, radio appearances, or studio meetings and auditions.
Charlie Chaplin and friends Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Paulette Goddard, Groucho Marx, Mack Sennett, Buster Keaton, and others also frequented Musso & Frank Grill. Charlie would ride his horse to Musso's for his favorite lunch – grilled lamb kidneys with bacon, prepared by Musso's first chef, Jean Rue, who headed the kitchen for over 50 years.
Apparently, Charlie Chaplin – as legend has it – challenged Douglas to a horse race on Hollywood Boulevard, and the winner had to pay the bill at Musso's. Charlie won and enjoyed a plate of roasted lamb kidneys.
The restaurant had a clubby atmosphere back then, far from the naive and flashy establishments in the city.
Below are a few photos of the restaurant from both the present and the past, including Charlie Chaplin's famous haunt, which is the most coveted spot by today's patrons, and I'm not surprised at all.
