Tim Hardin: Hobnobbin' With The Superstars
Tom Nolan, Rolling Stone, 19 April 1969
LOS ANGELES – The Chateau Marmont is one of the nicest places and reasons to stay in Los Angles. It retains the charm of old Hollywood, and has a view of Sunset Blvd. that makes the city seem an adventure; Roman Polanski stays at the Chateau, and Marlene Dietrich and Elvis Presley, and Tim Hardin was staying there on his last trip to L.A., during which he rested and played a concert at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
