Thanks for posting this! My aunty was a secretary at Warner Brothers in the 1940's and was recruited by Bette Davis to be a Canteen Hostess. My aunty was VERY glamourous and beautiful! She had very fond memories of The Hollywood Canteen and enjoyed her time there. Thanks again for posting this!
This guy is so cute. His youth and enthusiasm are infectious. Love his crisp and clear voice, enthusiasm I said that already), his love of Jah (little doggie), movie history. I love the way these videos are filmed. I feel like I'm there! My friend lives in California, south. We visited Los Angeles, Hollywood but now I have ideas of where I want to go thanks to this man next time I go to Cali. (in May maybe?).
Love this video. Have watched it before but enjoyed watching it again. Bette Davis and John Garfield are two of my favourite actors. I have the movie "Hollywood Canteen" and it is wonderful to watch. Yes! there definitely should be a plaque. It's a piece of Hollywood history!! I wish that a lot of these old places had been protected and landmarked. Such a shame to not appreciate the beautiful Houses and buildings. Thanks Jordan it was a fun video. All the best. Jah is the cutest dog ever!!
Have always loved the fact that the stars were willing to give their time to our servicemen like they did. Also the movie "Hollywood Canteen" is just a dream-come-true movie for that sweet little soldier Robert Hutton played! Love it! Great vlog, Jordan! Janey
I JUST CAN'T STOP WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE THE DAY I DISCOVERED THEM ,I SUSCRIBE IMMEDIATELY ....IS LIKE .WHERE IS THIS GUY GOING TO TAKE US TODAY?,,,, I HAVE THIS NOSTALGIC FEELING OF THOSE HOLLYWOOD GOLDEN YEARS AND I WOULD DO THE SAME IF I WERE THERE TO LOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL PLACES OF ALL THOSE CELEBRITIES,THEIR HOMES ,CINEMA STUDIOS ETC.......LOVE YOUR DOG....VERY CUTE ..THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS I APPRECIATE, AND ENJOY THEM ALMOST AS IF I WERE THERE ...PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Another very interesting video Jordan. I knew of the Hollywood Canteen, and you showing us just where it stood great. How sad there is no plaque in it's memory. Thank you again for all your efforts to inform us of Hollywood's history.
I found a small photo album of my dad's. He passed in 1989. On the front of the album it said Hollywood Canteen. I googled it found it's location and some history on it. My dad had some family pictures and some military pictures I am assuming buddies. I had a feeling you would have something on it with Bette Davis and John Garfield and numerous other Hollywood stars being involved. Thank you.
MY GOD'S IT'S CRAZY...I'LL BE READING OR WATCHING SOMETHING ON T.V OR TALKING TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER ABOUT AN EVENT OR SUBJECT...& THAN I TUNE INTO YOUR CHANNEL & U ARE VISITING THE SAME PLACE...IT'S A SIGN THAT YOU ARE A VERY POWERFUL AND SPECIAL SPIRIT & PERSON!! DON'T EVER CHANGE!!! LOVE YOUR SHOWS AND DOGGY!! GOD'S BLESS YOU!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank u Jordan. Such a wonderful story. Sadly this would be long forgotten since no aspect of the structure is still around if ppl like u didn't understand the Importance of keeping these memories alive and well. Again thank u for another top notch vid.
Another great vlog! So interesting, never heard of it, looking up the movie to see this weekend! What a piece of Hollywood History! Ty Jordan. All those famous celebrities helping out-that must of been great in it's time!
If Lionhearts go back to vlog 264 I think of the story how you got Jah it's funny because you showed us how he loved laying in clean clothes then...I love it and if anyone hasn't seen it do it. It's such a heartwarming story about Jah and a tribute to your dad. Your just incredible 😍
I love all your vlogs and can't stop watching you. Thanks for this little piece of Hollywood, there are so many changes to it, and that is really sad. #JordantheLionyouROCK!
Good stuff in the 80's Gelson was Mayfair and I met Wayne Knight of Seinfeld there and in the late 70's I use to play Basketball and was friend with Ernest Harden Jr. at West Hollywood Park who co-starred in White Mama in 1980 with Betty Davis. Across the street from CNN Jack in the Box Met Larry King. Graduated Fairfax High in 77 so every place you go was my stomping ground and makes me homesick.
You are right Jordan, there should be a plaque on all the historical locations, it would only enhance the city of Los Angeles. Super good video, thanks.
Wow great material your covering. I just became a subscriber and I can’t stop watching. I really enjoy the old entertainment industry. Thanks for your work. Glad I saw you on Adamthewoo channel. Have a great day
As Trevor said, “fantastic stuff” Jordan! I knew about the Hollywood Canteen, but never knew it was across the street from Amoeba. Once again I learned something new and fun from your vlogs! That pizza 🍕 looks to die for! Jah always brings a smile to my face. He is so adorable. 😊
What a great little vlog and I agree it’s a shame they don’t have a plaque to commemorate the Canteen being there in past . Glad you both had a great time on your date that pizza looked so tasty . Hope your car get fixed at last . 👍🏻💙🎥🎬🐶🦁👍🏻
This was wonderful and that you did it, now it will be history and we will always know where millions of GI's and Hollywood gathered, for a good cause. But, my favorite part was Jah. In the laundry. Best part!
love your videos , best in HOLLYWOOD and I lived there for 10 years ! 1811 Whitley Ave " THE FONTENOY " you should do a show ! Jean Harlow to Nixon to Duke and Dutchess to Johnny Depp to Nicholas Cage to Crispen Grvoer all lived there
Glad these vlogs were made before COVID came along and changed everyone's life. It will never be the same again, no never! Vaccine or no vaccine, life will never be the same, and new films may never be seen.
Great video. I have the film " Hollywood Canteen " It's a cute film and it's so funny to see these famous movie stars serving the service men. Hard to believe this actually happened. Can't imagine it working today. Shame.
Off to the Canteen-hope the car stuff gets in order soon! Seal! my Himalayan cat says hi to his buddy Jah (and to you too Jordan! . Love, love, love your stuff-his stuff is going to be flying around you tube really fast. My favourite subscribe glad I found this channel-Jordan is so personable.
Loved Dr Demento!! I believe Betty Davis actually SINGS in the movie Hollywood Canteen. Heard she hated her singing voice but did it for the cause! Don’t no if that’s true, but I don’t recall her singing in anything else!! I absolutely loved this vlog❤️. Thanks Jordan. Gonna go see what I can find on Dr Demento!!!!
You left out Eddie Cantor! He performed there once a week and was the Canteen's Santa Claus in 1942, '43 and '44!!! Cantor appeared in "Hollywood Canteen" (WB, 1944).
ok i tried to find if you have done one on Bette Davis home. Have you been there. if not i would love to see that. Thanks I love your shows so much.. You have taken me places i have always wanted to go. Some i have never though about.. M*A*S*H on was amazing but they lol really all are.. again Thank you for all you do...
My dad Papa Mike Leone and Sea Bee's Band at The Holywood Canteen 1945 with actor Jack Carson. I have a photo.. trying to join your FB page. I'll share it with you.
Hey Jordan. I know how you feel about your car. I have had my car since it was new in 2006, lol. I know about bad mechanics in the past. Let's hear it for no car payments!! Love me some Jah
Jordan, I love your videos, but I have a little constructive comment to make. Someone whose opinion I respect told me that the site of the Hollywood Canteen was on what is now the 4-story garage just SOUTH of the CNN building (or just to the LEFT of the CNN Building in the shot you hold on.) Now, perhaps that garage was the Canteen's entrance, and the actual Canteen's room(s) extended NORTH all the way to Sunset Blvd., so that would make the CNN building still part of the old Canteen site. An L.A. Historical Society official or member would give you a definitive answer, and put all to this to rest, of course.
Wow that pizza looked amazing😋. Your so sweet to dedicate a vlog for your mom. What a great son. Hope she is doing well. Jah looked so cute in the clothes😂😂. Great vlog as always Jordan. You made my Sunday 😉.
Amazing, Hollywood celebrities were actually decent human beings back in the day , gotta love this it's a shame modern day actors couldn't mimic decent behavior such as this , so cool ! Modern day hollyweird probably doesn't WANT this memorialized , for various reasons... Jah is so amazing 🤗💕
Don't agree at all --there are still decent people in Hollywood. There were just as many issues, if not more, with racism, drug use, and misogyny in the creative fields then as now. The World War united the country then...but there were still many problems...
Like I don't mind people saying g what they want on my channel but if a person gets vulgur or starts insults then the opinion is void there is no reason for people to call others names just because they didn't like the videos
A little tidbit: its believed that the Elizabeth Short killing was done by a serial killer who killed a woman before or after her ( I can't remember which). The woman who was killed danced at the Hollywood Canteen the night she was killed. I cant remember her name...hollendorf?
Hollywood Canteen a smorgasbord off stars. U wouldn't c that happen these daes i dare say. Not the degree of stars . U can gve scott a run 4 his money rattling names off Jordan lol.
Wow so cool. Wish we were as united as back then. That's so neat for celebrities to donate time for these men. And that modern building is strange. I don't think I like it very much. Great vlog full of history Jordan💙

What a great Hollywood icon in it's time. And you're right. There should be a memorial on this sight.
I LOVE Bette Davis and all the stars 🌟 you mentioned!! Great vlog as always!! Good job!
I love Bette Davis, and have recently been watching some of her old movies, so I really enjoyed this vlog, Jordan. Thank you so much.
Another very interesting video Jordan. I knew of the Hollywood Canteen, and you showing us just where it stood great. How sad there is no plaque in it's memory. Thank you again for all your efforts to inform us of Hollywood's history.
WOW what a great job Jordan thanks for all the hard work...........
Thanks
Don't forget Roy Rogers' horse, Trigger was in the movie.

Mari Peti sadly you’d never see that today.
Jordan. you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that! Thank you Jordan.
Another really nice job preserving and sharing history, Jordan!
Too bad CNN doesn't have a historical plack to say that's where the Hollywood Canteen was located.
Another brilliant video. One of my favourite!!!
Thanks for sharing your vlog on the Hollywood Cantina. I love these videos on Hollywood history
Thanks for doing these blogs my wife and I really enjoy them
Love the movie Hollywood Canteen watch every time it comes on as a kid when I first seen it I had such a crush on Joan Leslie 😍 P.S.I still do!
Thanks for sharing.

How do you access older vlogs utube wont couch up for me ;)
Super bettie davis she was excellent actress
I love all your vlogs and can't stop watching you. Thanks for this little piece of Hollywood, there are so many changes to it, and that is really sad. #JordantheLionyouROCK!

Bette Davis sings a song in the movie, I believe. Called "They're Either Too Old or Too Young."
I believe Bette sings that song not in Hollywood canteen, but in Thank You Lucky Stars.
Yay for Dr Demento grew up listening to Him ..What a wonderful thing that "Stage Door" very heart warming and positve
GOOD MORNING JORDAN AND JAH!!!! ALWAYS A AWESOME VID... THANKS.
Thanks! Good morning
You are right Jordan, there should be a plaque on all the historical locations, it would only enhance the city of Los Angeles. Super good video, thanks.
Moms vlog didn’t disappoint. Very informative! I’m going to try and find the old movie 🍿 🎥 will make for a good Sunday afternoon. Thanks again Jordan.
Wow great material your covering. I just became a subscriber and I can’t stop watching. I really enjoy the old entertainment industry. Thanks for your work. Glad I saw you on Adamthewoo channel. Have a great day

Really interesting history! I didn't think you were ever going to run out of celebrity names! Pretty cool!
YOU ARE BOUND FOR GREATNESS! AND BY THE WAY...YOU ARE ALREADY GREAT!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
As Trevor said, “fantastic stuff” Jordan! I knew about the Hollywood Canteen, but never knew it was across the street from Amoeba. Once again I learned something new and fun from your vlogs! That pizza 🍕 looks to die for! Jah always brings a smile to my face. He is so adorable. 😊
Thanks! I'm sure you'll take a second kook at CNN the next time you go by!
Daze with Jordan the Lion i sure will!
What a great little vlog and I agree it’s a shame they don’t have a plaque to commemorate the Canteen being there in past . Glad you both had a great time on your date that pizza looked so tasty . Hope your car get fixed at last . 👍🏻💙🎥🎬🐶🦁👍🏻
Jah's the best!!! Love the Canteen story. Bet the Canteen meant a lot to service men and women.
saw a movie on Turner that was at the canteen and showed alot of stars helping in there during the war alot of soliders in there
This was wonderful and that you did it, now it will be history and we will always know where millions of GI's and Hollywood gathered, for a good cause. But, my favorite part was Jah. In the laundry. Best part!
Jah loves the laundry!!
That Pizza...wow....almost worth travelling from Oz for! Hopefully one day!
love your videos , best in HOLLYWOOD and I lived there for 10 years ! 1811 Whitley Ave " THE FONTENOY " you should do a show ! Jean Harlow to Nixon to Duke and Dutchess to Johnny Depp to Nicholas Cage to Crispen Grvoer all lived there
Great stuff. I'm a collector of Old Hollywood. I also have a great book devoted to The Hollywood Canteen. Love Amoeba when Im visiting L.A.
Glad these vlogs were made before COVID came along and changed everyone's life. It will never be the same again, no never! Vaccine or no vaccine, life will never be the same, and new films may never be seen.
Thanks another great vlog.
Love that dog!!
Very interesting. I never knew about this. Too bad it couldn't continue.
Again fantastic stuff
Very cool! Didn't realise this was am actual place, not just a movie.
Yup!
Great video. I have the film " Hollywood Canteen "
It's a cute film and it's so funny to see these famous movie stars serving the service men. Hard to believe this actually happened. Can't imagine it working today. Shame.
Jordan, I love this Vlog!! How can we get this on the National Register of Historical Places...? Let’s get a plaque there..... or a statue!
I just had to check out that coffee site! And......had to get some! Tfs!
that's a great idea to watch the movie Hollywood canteen thanks Jordon for the information buddy
So many visitors in the short time it was open. It must have been packed full every day. The pizza looked really good too.
This is where Dinah Shore met her husband George Montgomery. The night they met Dinah was performing and George was a dishwasher
Off to the Canteen-hope the car stuff gets in order soon! Seal! my Himalayan cat says hi to his buddy Jah (and to you too Jordan! . Love, love, love your stuff-his stuff is going to be flying around you tube really fast. My favourite subscribe glad I found this channel-Jordan is so personable.
Loved Dr Demento!!
I believe Betty Davis actually SINGS in the movie Hollywood Canteen. Heard she hated her singing voice but did it for the cause! Don’t no if that’s true, but I don’t recall her singing in anything else!! I absolutely loved this vlog❤️. Thanks Jordan. Gonna go see what I can find on Dr Demento!!!!
She couldn't sing.....Joan Crawford could
You left out Eddie Cantor! He performed there once a week and was the Canteen's Santa Claus in 1942, '43 and '44!!! Cantor appeared in "Hollywood Canteen" (WB, 1944).

Love the blogs!! Sad fake news CNN replaced such an historical site
❤❤

Nice :)
Good morning. Brill blog Jordan
11,000 SUBSCRIBERS!
Thanks!
Sunset Gower studios,,is there a Welsh connection there????,,
Jordan, I love your videos, but I have a little constructive comment to make.

I think I caught whatever you had. LOL! Just miserable. How you kept going, while I'm dying on the couch....
That pizza looked hella good🤗🤗
Jordan, what about Shirley Temple ..u didn't mention her ;/
Wow that pizza looked amazing😋. Your so sweet to dedicate a vlog for your mom. What a great son. Hope she is doing well. Jah looked so cute in the clothes😂😂. Great vlog as always Jordan. You made my Sunday 😉.
Amazing, Hollywood celebrities were actually decent human beings back in the day , gotta love this it's a shame modern day actors couldn't mimic decent behavior such as this , so cool ! Modern day hollyweird probably doesn't WANT this memorialized , for various reasons... Jah is so amazing 🤗💕
agree - what happened?
Don't agree at all --there are still decent people in Hollywood. There were just as many issues, if not more, with racism, drug use, and misogyny in the creative fields then as now. The World War united the country then...but there were still many problems...
George Custer It's fashionable these days to hate on Hollywood.
I hated Hollywood BEFORE it came customary.....
I wonder if the bad comments get erased. I never see any here, carpetbagger or adam. I wonder
You dont have to wonder.. Not just the comments, the people get erased too.. zero tolerance for trolling..
Daze with Jordan the Lion I was gonna say I never see it. cant be that smooth sailing
Like I don't mind people saying g what they want on my channel but if a person gets vulgur or starts insults then the opinion is void there is no reason for people to call others names just because they didn't like the videos
Jan Barker sorry the reply was below I didn't get this right
Hey If you mention my Tour Co on your vlog I will pay you.
A little tidbit: its believed that the Elizabeth Short killing was done by a serial killer who killed a woman before or after her ( I can't remember which).
The woman who was killed danced at the Hollywood Canteen the night she was killed. I cant remember her name...hollendorf?
Bettie Davis is not bad looking when she was a young actress
Hollywood Canteen a smorgasbord off stars. U wouldn't c that happen these daes i dare say. Not the degree of stars . U can gve scott a run 4 his money rattling names off Jordan lol.
Great video, I just wish they wouldn't put political election adds during the video. Whatever their party affiliation I just ignore and skip!
Wow so cool. Wish we were as united as back then. That's so neat for celebrities to donate time for these men. And that modern building is strange. I don't think I like it very much. Great vlog full of history Jordan💙
How was Masa?
