Spooktacular Private Movie Theater

Cynthia was so excited to be in this room, it's rarely ever open. Too bad it's also rarely ever well lit...
You can't see it all that well, but in addition to the cool Deco seats (duct taped with finesse and style) there is an oak paneled rear wall with velvet drapes to shield the projection booth and a fab paneled and coffered ceiling. And there are also the most unique 4 light Tole painted wall sconces. I love this room!

Lovely Laura rocks the D&G. Pilar will kill me for posting this...she's actually quite ravishing in a Salma Hayek sort of way. Which is not a bad way to be, frankly.


Tour Guide/Park Ranger Steve tells us all, to our horror, that the bone heads at AFI (American Film Institute who leased the mansion for several years) walled over the original movie screen and stage cutting the rooms lenght in half. Tragic. Fortunately, we are all much more in tune with historic preservation and something like this would never happen.
