Does anyone remember hearing of "The Brown Derby" in Hollywood? That was a very very famous hangout they say for celebrities. My sister and I visted CA in 1968 (first visit). We really had a great package, staying at the Century Plaza which at the time hosted the Academy Awards. We had wonderful tours, and one of the stops was the Brown Derby. Even by that time however, it was more of the "landmark" and we didn't see anyone famous. However, just being there was so cool. Unfortunately, that no longer exists either.
