Belle of the Beach

The L.A. Times has a good story on Marion Davies, specifically the gloriously tacky Santa Monica beach compound that William Randolph Hearst built for her in the ’20s (thanks Christopher!). Although the main buildings in the compound are no longer standing, area residents want to refurbish and reopen the place as a community center. The article also has a good bio on the actress — do people still think she was a talentless bimbo? Guess so.
