Hotel Secrets with Richard E. Grant: Scandal

Watch Hotel Secrets with Richard E. Grant this Tuesday, October 14 at 9 p.m. on KCET!

In this episode the actor uncovers the gossip, intrigue, and scandal lurking behind the closed doors of some of the world's most famous rooms and suites. He visits the Chateau Marmont on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, where Howard Hughes famously holed up in the penthouse, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable carried out a torrid affair and Lindsay Lohan was recently temporarily banned for not paying a bill.

We've talked about the Chateau Marmont before on KCET Living -- it was the hotel that Golden Age movie stars would retire to in the wee hours after spending big across the street at The Players, one of L.A.'s hottest clubs in the '30s and '40s.
