Thank you, Robert! Do you happen to know where the building with the sign "Larchmont Studios" was located?
DeleteNot yet, the east and west side of the Cosmo building were used, but the other Larchmont stuff was shot somewhere else.
DeleteWoods first apartment is on Ogden Dr, south of Rosewood. I lived next door for 7 years.

My father lived in the neighborhood and met him many times, buying him lunch a few times.
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, I find myself here looking for information on what my father was doing with regard to Ed Wood in the 1960’s. He definitely knew the man I’ve heard he had loaned $ to for a project. Hmmmm
