More Cudahy - related?

Interesting writeup about the "Jinx" mansion formerly at 7269 Hollywood Boulevard (Fuller and Hollywood). Read about it and the bad luck that seemed to afflict some of its occupants here : http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/03/local/me-then3 and here: http://allanellenberger.com/hollywoods-jinx-mansion/

Built by George Ralphs, (the grocery store chain) and lived in owned or rented by Hollywood notables, including Louella Parsons, Doug Fairbanks, Jos. Schenk and Mrs. Norma Talmadge Schenk. Some Noir'ers may find noteworthy the shotgun suicide of Meat Packing Heir, alleged mental patient, ne'er-do-well and model citizen, Jack Cudahy(yes, the City of Cudahy is named after the family. ). There is also mention of a peripheral suicide-by-scissors. Home was eventually replaced in or around 1940 by the Peyton Hall apartment complex. Of course, this being Los Angeles-Hollywood, the complex was raised in the early '80s and replaced with something far more nondescript.
