thank you so much. sheltered from the elements by these enormous mountains, the town of palm springs became a desert playground for the rich and famous in the �*40s, �*50s and �*60s. they couldn't go anywhere in hollywood without having people photographing them and people wanting their autograph and... ken was part of this exclusive world as he ran a luxury resort catering for hollywood's millionaire celebrities. everybody in the film industry would come here because they had privacy, by and large. they built homes here, they bought homes here, and so that's where we got the movie economy and we had everybody from bob hope to sinatra, elizabeth taylor and all those people, they were all super nice and... so you met elizabeth taylor then? oh, yeah. elizabeth taylor was a sweetheart, yeah, she — and barbra streisand.
