Schwab's Drug Store

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schwab's drug store, at 8000 Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, was the meeting place of movie actors and dealmakers from the 30s through the 50s. Insiders referred to it as "headquarters". A Hollywood legend holds that Lana Turner was discovered there, although most sources say the event actually occurred at a malt shop about a mile away. Schwab's in no longer there; in the 90s the site was converted to shopping space and a theater.
