Hollywood’s famous hotels are said to be the home to some celebrity guests who never really checked out. John Belushi died of a drug overdose in Cabin 3 at the Chateau Marmont, and comedian Divine died from respiratory failure at the Regency Plaza. Janis Joplin died of a drug overdose at the Highland Gardens, and Diane Linkletter jumped from the sixth floor of the Shoreham Apartments, after she took LSD. Peter Finch had a fatal heart attack in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel. God told Mae West to come up and see Him, while she was living at the Ravenswood Apartments. Employees of the Hollywood Roosevelt report seeing the reflections of deceased guests in mirrors in the lobby there, including Marilyn Monroe; and on the roof of the Hollywood Knickerbocker, Harry Houdini’s widow held annual seances to reach her husband’s wandering spirit.
