(29,959 posts)She is from Huntington Beach so I'm not sure if same place she mentions is in Huntington Beach or not but there was a Golf Course -- resort came across a lot of rich people who would basically pay you to do anything, take their wife out shopping so they can enjoy their time at the course. Basically, a towel boy could be contracted out to do a host of many services. She says they host the Bob Hope Classic there.
She tells me about the time when she was walking her dog, she told me she was like the "meanest bitch" her words. I don't know if she was, it was from her perspective but she mentioned so many instances of meeting the rich & famous in a way that is casual like my mom who has met many when she used to work at the Raddison next to Sun Devil Stadium. Seeing KISS very pale by the swimming pool, heard a co-worker make a big deal about Dennis Miller checking in, one she does hype is meeting Walter Conkrite. I'm not sure what it was but I think she was doing a typical room check saw it was Walter Cronkite apologized and said he was nothing but class. All respect, no attitude nothing.
Lucille Ball's story is very similar to the movie The Majestic, a film writer signs a Communist sheet to impress a girl -- a very good movie, I like that kind of patriotism. Very small town hurt by World War II, takes a stand against the Senate Testifying Committee.
On edit -- I remember the name of the resort was Palm Springs, I remember at first I kept confusing it as a name of city so I got the Huntington Beach -- Palm Springs mixed up. I thought for the longest time Palm Springs was the name of the town she was working at.
