Earl ''The Pearl'' Watson: Doorman to the Stars - Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel,

Description: Earl ''The Pearl'' Watson by Earl Watson THE KNICKERBOCKER HOTEL Built between 1923 and 1925, the famous Hollywood Hotel Knickerbocker was in its early days, a mainstay in the life of Hollywoods most glorious celebrities. But, looking at this aging hotel on Ivar Avenue, you probably wouldnt guess that it had much of a Hollywood history. Similarly, looking at Earl Watson, an unassuming man, residing in Fresno, California, you probably wouldnt guess that he too, was a part of Hollywoods golden history. But, youd be dead wrong. Hollywoods elite came to the Knickerbocker and was greeted by the ever-smiling Earl Watson. From 1946 to 1962, Watson worked as a doorman at the famed hotel. Where most people only dream of seeing such celebrities as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, Earl Watson rubbed elbows with them. Today, the Hotel Knickerbocker is an apartment house for senior citizens, but back in the 1920s, it was in the heart of Hollywood and played a key role in Tinsel towns history. The Hotel was closed and the rooms converted to apartments in 1971. In 1991, the hotel bar was re-opened as the "All Star Theatre Cafe And Speakeasy," a coffee house nestled in the plush atmosphere of a glamorous past. And although the entrance to the hotel is closed to the public, you can still look through the glassed doors and imagine the splendor and magic that was the Knickerbocker.
