153. Finding Walt’s Legacy in the Tower of Terror Lobby: Secrets of the Ceiling, Centerpiece, and Couple’s Table - Tower of Terror - Part 10
How are some of the lobby props in the Hollywood Tower Hotel connected to an iconic Walt Disney show from the 1950s?
In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we check into the lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel to uncover what secrets have been decaying before us right in plain sight in the center of the room.
After finding some stickers on the ceiling and discovering the origin of the chandeliers and sconces, we explain the presence of the creepy bronze owl (and the flowers below him), and even tell you where you can buy your own replica of the statue. We then wander over to the couple’s table, where we make an amazing discovery about the chairs, and discuss wine servers and dining etiquette (and also find ANOTHER connection to Richard Nixon for Kate). We wrap up this episode digging into the history of Hollywood’s favorite lipstick, learning some glove love language, and untangling the myth (and reality) of flapper dress fringe.
