New York was the original American film capital, but most companies soon moved to Southern California, simply because it was the best climate in the country to do outdoor filming.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-30314284571383017122021-05-16T06:45:13.655-07:002021-05-16T06:45:13.655-07:00The lighting - and the amount of it they had in so...The lighting - and the amount of it they had in southern California - must have been one of the reasons the American film industry set up there in the first place.

Also, I imagine it was much cheaper than putting together indoor sets.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-34827248030018219542021-05-15T08:41:53.863-07:002021-05-15T08:41:53.863-07:00The story about Marilyn Monroe's death hinges ...The story about Marilyn Monroe's death hinges on the assumption that both Kennedy brothers shared the most sensitive information in the country with Monroe - but never states why on Earth they would do that.<br /><br />I found the story about the alley in Los Anegeles more interesting.
