    Celia Cruz was a fantastic singer who I listened to and my parents would dance to her music and I mean dance😂. I was fortunate to meet Celia and spend time with her. Wonderful lady!

    Anna Hyatt Huntington and her husband Archer created Brookgreen Gardens near Myrtle Beach, SC and their Moorish castle, Atalaya is still there by the ocean. Her husband was the stepson of Collis P. Huntington who founded the Central Pacific Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. They were truly philanthropic and interesting people who were known for their kindness to their SC neighbors. Great video, I would love to visit Woodlawn! ❤

    Herman Melville is impossible to read. I had to take a test on Billy Budd in HS. I waited til late to read it… he had single sentences that were paragraphs long. So I bailed. I pieced the story together from the multiple choice questions and PASSED! To this day I have no idea what Billy Budd is about. 😂😂😂

    With regard to Dorothy Parker, I remember reading that Hollywood Moguls loved hiring husband and wife writing teams. Firstly, they paid the teams 25% less because they wouldn’t pay full price for the same household. Secondly, they felt that husband and wife teams would spend more of their free time talking about the script, e.g., riding to and from work, over dinner and breakfast, before bed. They considered that tremendous bang for the buck. Can you imagine? What studio chiefs took into consideration never ceases to amaze me.

    Thank you for showing the grave of Anna Hyatt Huntington, I'm sure her husband Archer Huntington is buried in there with her. Archer's step- father (most probable actual father) was Collis. Huntington, who is one of the "Big Four" that started the railroad back east. I work at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California. Also, thank you for including Celia Cruz's grave . My husband was Cuban, he always raved about her, we saw Celia and Tito Puente in concert at the Greek. My husband is probably dancing salsa with her or asking her to sing. May they all rest in peace. 🙏🏼
