Before there was the glamour of Hollywood, Los Angeles was a rough place. It was a city where losers and dreamers from all over came to make their fortune. This era of her native city has always fascinated author, fashion icon and filmmaker Liz Goldwyn. In a series of haunting interlinked stories she recreates the Los Angeles of the 1890s through stories of its pimps, politicians, prostitutes, businessmen, madams and johns. Based on Goldwyn's original research, these fictional stories are based on real historical characters.
