It is so sad that Beverly Hills has gone downhill and now has high crime, and it is so bad that someone killed a little old lady who spent her time doing charity work. Horrible.
When I was young Beverly Hills used to be nice. When I was a kid my Grandmother used to drive me to Beverly Hills and she used to show me the houses where the movie stars lived, and she told me that if I worked hard that maybe some day I could live in a house like the ones that she showed me.
At the time when I was in acting school, the top television show was "Beverly Hills 90210" and I was able to hang out with them on the day of my audition to get into the school. People loved Beverly Hills back then.
Then, I joined Take One Studios in Beverly Hills, and I was able to meet the top casting directors, etc, I met Julie Hutchinson there, and other great people. Beverly Hills was the place to be for the entertainment industry back then.
Beverly Hills used to be great, it is sad what it has turned into.
But, it is a great time for professional body guards, they are making six figure salaries to protect the stars. It is easy money.
Salute,
Tony V.
