In November 1925, Rudolph Valentino caused a sensation inside the Manhattan Supreme Court, when he showed up to defend the honor of his friend, Olga Petrova, who was being sued for $35,000 on charges that she plagiarized "The Red Wing" to create her play, "The White Peacock."

My name is Craig Owens, a photographer/blogger for the popular Facebook Page "Bizarre Los Angeles" and the author of the book, "Haunted by History Vol. 1," separating the facts and legends of eight historic, haunted hotels in Southern California. I have always been in love with Old Hollywood. I love it for its glamour, its style, its mythology and its decadence, which always seems to be bubbling just below its surface. I'm a firm believer that its history should not be forgotten even if its architecture and carbon footprints are slowly being replaced.
