What was the name of that hotel bar? In the film, a "Stan Laurel" actor swims by. Sorry, it's not a mermaid! The Starz TV series "Magic City" pays homage to that bar with its porthole views of the pool. Know where I can find the image of "Stan Laurel" in the pool as seen from that bar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-17259130563792006632012-02-19T07:13:59.711-05:002012-02-19T07:13:59.711-05:00Thanks Darlene!Thanks Darlene!Rick Kilbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515464705852515607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-80028294123679683502012-02-15T14:56:04.695-05:002012-02-15T14:56:04.695-05:00Thanks Beth- Jeff has done an amazing job of resea...Thanks Beth- Jeff has done an amazing job of researching this topic.
