Tales Of A Hollywood Tour Guide

Author/Narrator Sir Leslie Stephen Schochet researched Hollywood and Walt Disney narratives and traditional knowledge for 10 old age while giving tours of Hollywood. He had the alone thought the narratives could be told anywhere and that's what led him to make the critically acclaimed audiobooks "Fascinating Walt Disney" and "Tales Of Hollywood". Here he shares some narratives that happened while he was actually giving tours:

On one tour I pointed out the Fox Plaza, the edifice that was blown up in the film Die Hard. A tourist asked me "How did they set that edifice back together so fast?"

* On the tour we halt at Rodeo Drive. The people were returning to the autobus after their visit and Steve Garvey came walking by. A life long Dodger fan I said," Hello Steve." Happy for the recognition, he came over to ran into the people on the bus. Unfortunately, the full grouping was from England and Federal Republic Of Germany and not a single individual knew who he was.

* The twenty-four hours after OJ Mrs. Simpson was arrested, I was doing a tour where we stopped in presence of the Chinese Theater. My clients were looking at the handprints and footprints, while I stretched my legs near a row of parked tour buses. Two men, one with a filming photographic camera approached me. "Hi We're from CNN. Are you a tour guide? We would wish to interview you about OJ." "Sure." "Great. Axial Rotation the camera. We're talking to a Hollywood tour guide. So did your clients inquire you today about OJ's house." "Well today my people are from Romania. They are here for the World Cup. I don't believe they care about OJ." "Well will you be adding OJ's house to the tour?" "Probably not because he dwells west of the 405. We travel east of the 405 and we are so pressed for time. I wouldn't be surprised if we have got some cats who point at any old house and claim that it's OJ's!" I was kidding but the newsman took me quite seriously. "So tour guides make that make they? What tour company make you work for?" I thought, who makes this cat believe he is, Microphone Wallace? I pointed at one of the buses owned by a challenger tour company.

* When I first started preparation as a tour autobus driver I rode with other guides to see how they did it. One guy, unfortunately did not endear himself to the clients with a spiel of stale and sometimes sexist jokes. At one point he showed the Hollywood Sign, and told the tragical story of actress Peg Entwistle, who not able to win in the passage from phase to screen, jumped 50 feet to her decease from the top of the missive H. Helium finished the narrative with the tagline,"Of course the last individual to leap was a tour guide who didn't acquire tipped." There was a intermission and then an Australian client from the dorsum of the autobus shouted out," Oh yeah? Well there'll be another 1 tomorrow!"
