S2 06 | Hollywood — boulevard of broken onions
It was Columbia Pictures President Harry Cohn who once said, "If you must get in trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont" — and trouble they had. In uncovering the razzle-dazzle of Hollywood, we track the 95-year history of the Chateau, from its beginnings as onion fields, to its rise as a place of decadence, scandal, fame and murder. Plus, how did the palm tree become an emblem of LA, and could Marilyn Monroe really act?
