Showing native Angeleno Marilyn Monroe in the home that has been at the center of so much recent discourse. LIFE Magazine reporter Richard Meryman interviewed MM in her home weeks before her death and relayed the following, “She wanted to show me her house which she had personally searched out and bought…it was a small, three-bedroom house built in Mexican style, the first home entirely her own she had ever had. She exulted in it. On a special trip to Mexico she had carefully searched in roadside stands and shops and even factories to find just the right things to put in it. The large items had not arrived, nor was she ever to see them installed. As she led me through the rooms, bare and makeshift as though someone lived there only temporarily, she described with loving excitement each couch and table and dresser, where it would go and what was special about it. The few small Mexican things – a tin candelabra, folding stools ingeniously carved from single pieces of wood, a leather covered coffee table, tiles on the kitchen walls revealing her impetuous charming taste." "Separate from the house, attached to her two-car garage, was a large room being converted into an apartment which would be, she explained “a place for friends of mine who are in some kind of trouble, you know, and maybe they’ll want to live here where they won’t be bothered till things are okay for them. “ Photo by Allan Grant for LIFE. #lapl #losangelespubliclibrary #losangeles #losangeleshistory #marilynmonroe #marilynmonroehouse #california #californiahistory #richardmeryman #marilynmonroehome #brentwood #brentwoodca #brentwoodcalifornia #historyla #lahistory #allangrant #brentwoodhistory

Photographer Harry Quillen loved the circus, and during the 1940s, he enthusiastically captured the light-hearted spirit of the traveling show with his large format camera. After his death in 1972, his work was donated to the Circus World Museum in Wisconsin, but amongst his photographs of the aerialists, animals, clowns, and daily life in the tents and on the stages of the Clyde Beatty Circus, archivists discovered something else: hundreds of prints and negatives of the early days of Los Angeles’ Chinatown. Established in 1938, “New Chinatown” was the first of such communities to be funded, controlled, and operated solely by Chinese Americans. The architecture blended modern Chinese and American design aesthetics, including colorful neon, intricate wood carvings, and imposing statues. Central Plaza, considered to be the first outdoor mall, became the focal point and social hub of the community, hosting traditional lion dances and lantern festivals and featuring landmarks such as the Golden Pagoda and its famous Gateways. Harry Quillen attended the grand opening of New Chinatown in 1938 as well as the lion dances, lantern festivals, and other culturally significant events in the community, providing a valuable historical record of Chinatown as it was and as we know it today. In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Los Angeles Public Library’s Photo Collection presents a selection of Harry Quillen’s New Chinatown photographs, of which there are over 700 online on our Tessa database, that combine the neighborhood’s shops, restaurants and landmarks with images of daily life among Los Angeles’ Chinese American community in the 1930s and 1940s. #lapl #lapubliclibrary #iglibraries #librariesofinstagram #chinatown

As the 80th anniversary of D-Day approaches, my thoughts turn to Captain James Stagg who was lead meteorologist, tasked with bringing together the ideas of forecasters from the UK, USA and Navy as plans for the day unfolded. More to follow in the coming days but here is Stagg's diary entry for this day in 1944, together with the weather chart for that day. Low pressure was in the North Sea with a risk and cold N-NW flow affecting the country. This would have brought a mix of sunshine and showers. eastern and northern coasts would have been particularly cold in a gale force wind. Maximum temperatures on this chart show just 4C in Aberdeen, 7C in London & Birmingham, 9C in the Scilly Isles, 8C in Belfasts and 6C in Lerwick. Conditions in the English Channel were probably not too bad and although cool may have been bright with lighter winds. #ukweather #weather #aviation #flyer #flyermag #pilot #flying #microlight #gliding #soaring #helicopter #lapl #ppl #atpl #cpl #flightinstructor #avgeek #studentpilot #pilotsofinstagram #instaaviation #flighttraining #pilottraining #privatepilot #instapilot #WeatherSchool
