Wonderful video Steve! In 1978 my agent booked me to perform at the La Quinta Hotel and it was truly remarkable. Such refined elegance and exclusivity unmatched anywhere. In those days (1926-1979...) the hotel was what is called a "closed book" hotel, meaning that accommodations were not available to anyone that called or wrote in to book a stay there. The hotel was booked solid all season long to the same celebrities and industrialists year after year after year... This hotel was only open from October 1 through April 1 period. No exceptions. It was an old school winter-only hideout for the ultra rich. What is interesting is that this property was so far from any civilization at the time that all the staff, myself included, literally lived at the hotel! And I mean everybody! The maids, housekeepers, cooks, bartenders, waiters, gardeners, poolboy, and yes even the concert pianist in the library lounge. I had my own separate and individual cottage there right next to the general managers cottage AND I still have photos of it today! When I performed at La Quinta Hotel I had dinner each evening with the hotel's 70 year old pool man. He was in fact the only pool man the hotel had ever had. He worked there from the very beginning in 1926 and finally retired in the 1980s. He lived there with his faithful and beloved German Shepherd dog and when the summertime came each year he along with all the employees would pack up and move. They all went to work at exclusive summer resorts across the country. I would sit there night after night and listen to the stories that the original head of housekeeping and he would tell. It was just magic. During my time there in my audience was Jackie Onassis, President and Mrs. Ford, the Shah of Iran, Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day (and her cheating husband who secretly brought along his mistress and put her up in a nearby bungalow some 50 feet away!), William Holden, etc.... Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner were there filming the pilot for his series Hart to Hart along with Roddy McDowell, Aaron Spelling and more. So you can imagine what my audience was like each evening!! They were a captive audience for sure as there was just nothing around it but sand and dirt and tumbleweeds for miles and miles. Oh one more thing... I played the wedding of David Carradine there too. Thank you for this delightful video Steve. You did the place proud!!!
Wow, Steve, thank you so much for sharing your experience and memories of this resort with us. What a fun and amazing career you have had. You should write a book, if you haven’t already! Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this behind the scenes look at such an historic site! 😊☹️
Oh and I wanna say glad to see your partner with you in some videos too that's so cool just keep up the awesome work even though I'm not the biggest fan of some of your new blogs I still love your videos in-between the new ones the graveyard ones but there all good and I'm glad to see that most people love them so everyone out there thanks for keeping my favorite TH-camr going on thanks again steve
Thank you Kevin! I will definitely keep Visiting gravesites, just not as often. Most of them are hundreds of miles away from where I live and I’m trying to simplify life a little bit now that I’m retired So I’m doing more closer to home these days whenever possible. 😊👍
I loved this one, Steve! You're so funny and it's great to see Jim again too! The $12 fries left me speechless there for a moment, even though I live in a very touristy area and prices are high here. But the food looked unbelievable and the portions terrific! I didn't know about the San & Santa meanings either and I love old Hollywood so it was all very informative as well.
pffew steve what a day... my dog my little life companion for the last 18 years died today so, I'm happy to enjoy one of your videos they are always so positive so you posting today makes my day thanks steve!
I also posted an in memoriam photocollage of her life with me and my family video so if you want to give your condolences you can the more the better to give her a big send-off she deserves it.
You're the best TH-camr out there I love all your blogs I love all your blogs but the one that are not graveyard blogs I'm not to crazy about but I watch all your blogs old and new all the time I bet I have watched every video you have done on graveyard only about 100 + times each hope that helps your channel out and will keep that up just cause I love them so much your the greatest out there on the tube but doore graveyard stuff get away from this other stuff your doing not a fan of it sounds much but wouldn't delete you no way or how just want graveyard stuff but I know other people love your new stuff so I won't stop watching keep up the awesome work Steve hope to see a new graveyard blog soon.have a wonderful evening sir thanks for the awesome entertainment
Jim seems like he is getting out more and more! You must be finally converting him! Sure is a lot of history at this hotel! It's neat that they have everything marked. Must have had a lot of visitors over the years looking. Hard to believe someone doesn't know It's a Wonderful Life. It's even in Christmas Vacation. Wonder if he saw that?
After being stuck in the house for an entire year, even Jim is now ready to get out once in a while. :-) My grandson is 20, so IAWL is like ancient history to him LOL. Funny but sad, too!
Steve i always enjoy your vids , you tell the history of our great actors here , the next generation may forget who the great actors were but with people like you ,that tells the story you always make us and the next generation remember these great actors and patriots like Jimmy Stewart too , the Its a Wonderful life blog , i have on my channel Christmas decorations with my Its a Wonderful life Village thanks for all that you do keep up the great work!
Always great, Steve...you're lucky...having Jim there is like having Alexa...just ask and get answers! Have fun you guys...you are keeping those of us stuck in alive!
Hi again Steve 😊, we were rewatching a few more plus it's a wonderful life lol , and this came on. Awesome 👍😎 as always. Look forward to seeing more, stay cool.
@@TheGraveyardChannel like you say, just watch it w l, then auto started playing this , then I said we just saw it, Bill said no, this is a new one just posted minutes ago 😀,
It's a wonderful life is my all time favorite movie!!!! Did I hear it correctly that Jim has not seen it's a wonderful life?????? I would love to visit this Hotel. Steve Thank you again for another awesome vlog.
Hi Steve and Jim. I had no idea that LaQuinta had a luxurious resort , thought that they were the usual type of hotel chain. Fascinating Vlog. Thank you!
👍💯💜. Hi ya steve, jim. Marcia and Brandon. It looks peaceful, neat cottages and all the history. If I was a ghost, I'd want stay too.most ghost don't come out in the day.marcia knows how be protected from my sun. She stole my look.😁. It looked like the sun was not shining today. I thought everybody has heard of it's a wonderful life. I'm jealous wish I was there.🙂.La Quinta seem like a nice place to sit, relax, stay a while. It's nice when they preserve as much as you can.putting that gate there was a neat idea. 75 years old. Boy if those cottages could talk. It near just to be able to see near places like this.the food looked good where yall stopped. I'm sure all of you enjoyed it. Neat they have plaques, you can learn interesting things.👍 another great video steve the kind I like Just sit back for a few minutes see a interesting place with a lot of history. Thanks for taking me along.🙂. My second son name is Brandon. We call him Bj. Take care. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James. 👋🙂.
Steve, I understand your "OMG!" about It's a Wonderful Life. I have a friend who turned 68 last November and he had never seen the movie. I'm 56 and have seen it numerous times. Something recently I learned about the movie is that the actor who plays the guy at the dance talking to Mary when George walks up and interrupts him, and later opens the floor for the pool is played by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer.
Lol, when I watched the movie again right before doing this video I was shocked to see alfalfa too! When I was younger I had noticed him. Thanks for sharing this with us mrh! 😊👍
In the mid 90’s I had a standing room reservation there. I drove out every weekend from Santa Monica. A superbly classy place. Bought by some corporation and it’s never been the same.
Love it can’t wait till next year plan to visit a lot of different places that you have showed that I have become very interested in who know might run into you guys
If you see us out and about, definitely say hi and be in one of our videos! :-) Glad they are helpful. That was one of the main reasons I started this channel. Thanks Ranger!
That’s my husband’s favorite Christmas movie. Thanks for taking us along, Steve!🙋🏻♀️ also Steve maybe if you had Jim a long more often you would’ve some of those gravesites a lot quicker!😉
It's nice that Jim is joining you on your adventures. 😊 I've seen Marcia on a few of your other videos but don't know who she is...but I'm glad she's joining you, also. I have to agree - I much prefer sunny days. 💕
Ahh!! Love this Steve! We’re actually staying at this resort this weekend! I’m way more excited now 😋Definitely gonna check out Louise’s Pantry. Last time we stayed there we tried finding Greta Garbo’s casita, but the heat got us😅We’ll try a again this time! Thanks for another gem!👌🏼
Three thumbs up 👍 and a vlogger gets their wings. Steve great job on this classic. Looks like your driver will be a good vlogger in training. Lol. Thanks for this one.
Once again a very interesting video. I obviously had heard of LA, Quinta Resort. Very famous resort and, of course, I remember Frank Capra and the other celebrities that you mentioned etc. I remember when you visited Frank Capra's grave site. . 12 dollars for a plate of chips??? Sorry there was no, errm, is it called sunshine? for your vlog It must have been terribly difficult for you all to cope and indeed complete your vvideo without the sun lol!! Kindest regards to you and Jim from DJ in the UK! (where it is raining!! Yes in the Summer!! The rain is defo warmer though in the Summer lol.)
It’s really a small world because Lucille Capra was a girl who grew up in Ceres which is near Modesto. I believe that her parents are buried in Modesto!
Ginger Rogers (Virginia Katherine McMath) and Fred Astaire are still dancing up in Heaven. Their dance scenes entertain me to this day. Steve, thanks for the video.
Great that La Quinta embraces the celebrity past. I know when wifey and I stayed at the Chateau Marmont over a long weekend we tried to poke around and inquire where Jim Morrison stayed and others and they had nothing for us haha.....the only place we knew for sure was Belushi's bungalo.
Steve, what a great vlog post! That looks like an awesome place to visit. And Louise's Pantry..... looking at all that food made me hungry! I've really loved your recent posts. I'm watching for another great cemetery crawl. Jim, you need to stay in the videos! I think you have a better sense of direction than Steve lol! Looking forward to more.
Very interesting movie, our generation watch it every holiday season, the movie premiered when my folks were young and they never saw it, never remember anyone in their group who saw it. Very interesting. Cheers 🥂
Hi friend Steve: Another terrific video. That breakfast could almost pass for Kosher! So I guess you're now making Retireumentaries. I like you regardless of format. You're a good writer, director and cameraman! XXXXO SR
Hello Steve and Jim , what a great video I just enjoy them so much because I’m so into those things , Louise’s looks like a great place to eat next time I go to palm spring I’m gonna look for it , I can’t believe Ginger Rogers didn’t have a plaque near the “fountain” they should’ve have kept the fountain ,Cus fountains are beautiful i so don’t like when they change things from the past , I can’t Believe that there was not much on her . Thank you both for sharing!! And Marsha too 😇
Hi there you guys, isn't things nice how things work out. Its a wonderful life filmed so long ago and then was just another movie. The proof is in the pudding so long ago and became an iconic movie that now gets passed down generation to generation. This movie has stood the test of time great video as usual
Frank and Lu's daughter Lucille recently passed away in northern Michigan. She was a professor at the University of Findlay OH back in the 1980s and 90s.
Steve, have you ever visited the Warner's Brothers Ranch in Burbank? I'd love to see a video of the houses used for external shots in I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and the Partridge Family.
Great job. I lived in La Quinta in 1983-84 and had no idea this place existed. La quinta was a lot smaller then. I believe the Eisenhower's lived here prior to moving to Indian Wells where they purchased a home after he was out of the White House. The prices seemed high but it is a tourist area and I have a friend coming out here in Dec and he is into ghost hunting. May have to take him there and have breakfast too.
Steve...As always another great vlog. Hope you had a safe 4the of July.I really do love your recent vlogs. It is so great to see Jim doing vlogs with you. Have a happy day with Jim.
Thank you Norma and you too!

Hey Steve and Jim 🙌 I have said this on a couple of your past videos… It’s A Wonderful Life is my all time favourite movie so loved the connection ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it RB!
Hi Steve and Jim happy late 4th of July to you both loved to see where Frank Cappa lived another great blog
Thanks, Eric. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man! That breakfast looked to die for!!!
I love a good breakfast like that.
Great show. Thanks.
LOL, I thought I was going to die after I ate it. It was so much food I needed a nap after. :-) Thanks for watching, Jeffrey!

How interesting. Now watching “it’s a wonderful life “ at Christmas time I’ll imagine him sitting in that villa typing away……
What a beautiful resort. Those pancakes looked amazing too.

Love La Quinta, they let you bring your dog!
Good question ellery. You would have to call the resort to confirm, but most likely. And I was the one woman walking hers, so probably.
My favorite Christmas movie!

What a beautiful place to live.

Something recently I learned about the movie is that the actor who plays the guy at the dance talking to Mary when George walks up and interrupts him, and later opens the floor for the pool is played by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer.

Ginger Rogers (Virginia Katherine McMath) and Fred Astaire are still dancing up in Heaven. Their dance scenes entertain me to this day. Steve, thanks for the video.
They are timeless. Thanks Antoinnette! 😊👍
Great that La Quinta embraces the celebrity past. I know when wifey and I stayed at the Chateau Marmont over a long weekend we tried to poke around and inquire where Jim Morrison stayed and others and they had nothing for us haha.....the only place we knew for sure was Belushi's bungalo.
That's sad to hear, William! :-(
Steve, what a great vlog post! That looks like an awesome place to visit. And Louise's Pantry..... looking at all that food made me hungry! I've really loved your recent posts. I'm watching for another great cemetery crawl. Jim, you need to stay in the videos! I think you have a better sense of direction than Steve lol! Looking forward to more.
Lol, he definitely does Dee! 😂👍
Very interesting movie, our generation watch it every holiday season, the movie premiered when my folks were young and they never saw it, never remember anyone in their group who saw it. Very interesting. Cheers 🥂
Wow how funny and strange Buck!
Beautiful cosy looking place. 🤔
What a wonderful place!
Thank you, Steve! You make it fun, as if we are with you. 💜 If you decide to ghost hunt, I want to go, too! 🙏😆
LOL, thanks A A! :-)
Hi friend Steve:
Another terrific video. That breakfast could almost pass for Kosher!
So I guess you're now making Retireumentaries. I like you regardless of format. You're a good writer, director and cameraman!
XXXXO
SR
LOL, I think you are the writer, Saykhel. You definitely have a way with words. Thanks for the laugh! :-)
What a beautiful resort! Nice to see Jim with you again! One of my favourite reality shows was "The Joe Schmo Show" or Joe don't know show lol
LOL, I remember that. We liked it too. Had forgotten all about it. Thanks for the memories, Miles! :-)
Hello Steve and Jim , what a great video I just enjoy them so much because I’m so into those things , Louise’s looks like a great place to eat next time I go to palm spring I’m gonna look for it , I can’t believe Ginger Rogers didn’t have a plaque near the “fountain” they should’ve have kept the fountain ,Cus fountains are beautiful i so don’t like when they change things from the past , I can’t Believe that there was not much on her . Thank you both for sharing!! And Marsha too 😇
So glad you enjoyed it CMK and I agree! 😊👍
How could someone not have seen that movie?? Oh if they are younger than we are I guess. Enjoyable video.
By the way, awesome breakfast!
And now Retired Life With Steve is at that location!
Have a GREAT week my friends!!
Thanks Anthony and you too! 😊👍

Thanks John! 😊👍
Hi there you guys, isn't things nice how things work out. Its a wonderful life filmed so long ago and then was just another movie. The proof is in the pudding so long ago and became an iconic movie that now gets passed down generation to generation. This movie has stood the test of time great video as usual
It sure has Harolyn!
Wow!!!!
Frank and Lu's daughter Lucille recently passed away in northern Michigan. She was a professor at the University of Findlay OH back in the 1980s and 90s.
:-( Thanks for sharing that with us, Bob.
The Bob Hope Desert Classic is now played at LA Quinta at PGA West
That food looked so delicious!
It sure was Diane! 😊👍
Thanks for the Spanish lesson. I only took one year of Spanish and that was in 9th grade. All I know are basic words and phrases.
hi steve keep up the blogs
Thanks Matthew, will do 😊👍
Steve, have you ever visited the Warner's Brothers Ranch in Burbank? I'd love to see a video of the houses used for external shots in I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and the Partridge Family.
I would love to, but I don’t think they give tours. ☹️
@@TheGraveyardChannel Oh bummer. Lucky I didn't fly all the way to the US from Australia then to do it. I would have been bitterly disappointed 😂
Great job. I lived in La Quinta in 1983-84 and had no idea this place existed. La quinta was a lot smaller then. I believe the Eisenhower's lived here prior to moving to Indian Wells where they purchased a home after he was out of the White House. The prices seemed high but it is a tourist area and I have a friend coming out here in Dec and he is into ghost hunting. May have to take him there and have breakfast too.
Yes, I think you are right Lee. And isn’t it funny how many of these great places are hidden in plain sight here in the desert? 😎👍
