Alexandria Hotel

	The Alexandria Hotel opened in Hollywood in 1906 and for many years
several the restaurant and theater crowds of the surrounding district. It
became a natural meeting place for the burgeoning film industry and by 1910,
the dining room had become the lunch location of choice for studio heads,
famous actors and those of Hollywood power. During its heyday, it played
host to people like Winston Churchill, Enrico Caruso, King Edward VIII and
American presidents like Taft, Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. It would be at
the Alexandria that D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and
Douglas Fairbanks would make movie history by announcing the formation of
their independent company, United Artists.

But Hollywood would not remain so kind to the Alexandria. As Los Angeles
began to develop in a westerly direction, the hotel was abandoned by the
stars for the more modern Biltmore and Ambassador Hotels. The Alexandria
became a just a memory and it fell into silence and disrepair. Then, in the
early 1970's, the hotel was given a multi-million dollar facelift and the
past began to come alive at the hotel... in more ways that one!

	

Nancy Malone and Lisa Mitchell were hired to bring back the flavor of old
Hollywood to the hotel. They named rooms for the hotel's famous former
residents and decorated the hallways with portraits of stars and photographs
of Hollywood in its early days. Is it possible that this connection to the
past helped to awaken the ghosts of the old hotel?

Author Laurie Jacobson interviewed Nancy Malone and she vividly recalled her
first sighting of the hotel's famed "lady in black". Nancy was hanging
pictures on the wall in a hallway in the early morning hours when she
spotted a woman dressed all in black and wearing a large black hat. She was
standing at the other end of the hall and began walking away. Nancy remarked
that she could not see through the woman, but that "she wasn't solid
either". She walked a short distance and then vanished.

Since that time, she continues to be seen, but who is she? Lori Jacobson
believes that she might be a former resident of the hotel who died while in
mourning for some loved one. "Stricken with grief," the author writes, "she
barely noticed her own passing and continued to grieve for more than seventy
years".
