Beyond the glimmer. Behind the scenes. Beneath the red carpet.

The 925 Book.

Image.  Among the vocabulary of the industry of entertainment, nothing matters more.  In the dictionary of major media, toss aside the first eight letters because the lifecycle of that media machine lives and dies on framed and hung image.

 

Reality is but a nuisance to the illusion of image.  Better than the magic of the rabbit-in-the-hat or elephant-under-the-curtain gang, Hollywood exists under the spell of the world that never was and always will be.

 

It is a place of carefully crafted, well-groomed and equally maintained make believe.  It is the escape.  And, in its purest form, it serves a necessary role in taking the everyman from the everyday and transporting him into scripted and scoped fantasy.

 

Now, imagine a world in which your reality was dictated by someone else’s fantasy.  Such is the world of the Beverly Hills Hotel.  A place built less of its trademark pink stucco and more of perception.

 

A place built on image, of image, and for image.

 

Nothing could be more valuable to the industry it serves than preserving that illusion.  And as a magician never tells, so the many stars and other prominent figures stabled there believed the hotel would never tell.

 

In principle, it made sense.  Perfect sense.  In practice, the Pink Palace could not exercise the requisite discipline of the holder of such secrets.  Nor could the Beverly Hills Hotel resist the value inherent in memorializing the activities of the notables that made the hotel a landmark, an icon, and a home.

 

Enter the book.  The 925 Book.  For who would suspect the dignified grand dame of housekeeping for many a star and mogul would be the ultimate tabloid mill…?

 

This site will endeavor to distill in its most basic form the substance of that book.  The names.  The people who make up the Beverly Hills Hotel family.  And, on occasion, we will go beyond the name and, when appropriate, provide the texture of the dysfunction that is being a member of this most exclusive of families.

 

The 925 Book is a tell-all that has never been told.  As told by the people with the most intimate knowledge of the stars, the star-makers, and those who control the media machine.

 

We will delve into this breach of trust.  We will break open the diary of an industry predicated on illusion and a property entrusted with maintaining the fantasy of the first word in the celebrity bible - image.
