THE HAUNTED HOTEL
Guess who's joined the conservationists fighting to preserve the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where Robert Kennedy was gunned down. According to Preservation Online, it's none other than Sirhan Shirhan. In a lawsuit to keep the structure from being demolished to make way for a school, he claims that evidence lodged in the hotel walls shows Kennedy was killed by bullets from more than one gun. Sirhan Sirhan, you may recall, is serving a life sentence for shooting Kennedy to death in the hotel's pantry in 1968. Before the assassination, the Ambassador was most famous for its nightclub, the Cocoanut Grove, which became an iconic celebrity hangout where the Academy Awards were held during Hollywood's so-called Golden Age of the '30s and '40s.Posted by at December 20, 2004 09:28 AM
