Shawn Levy: A new book about Chateau Marmont CC#193

Not everyone knows what Chateau Marmont is. Points for you if you do. But if you say, “Remember the hotel where John Belushi died?” “Oh yeah!” The hotel happens to have a long history of celebrity hanky-panky. Portland’s Shawn Levy returns to the podcast to talk about his new book, “Castle on Sunset: Life, Death, Love, Art and Scandal at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.” It was published this week and we snagged Shawn in the middle of non-stop interviews to come to Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th and tell us about it. You know Shawn from his other books and of course for his time as movie reviewer at the Oregonian when there was an Oregonian. Let’s talk to Shawn.
