While looking into the Sterrys of
2607 Wilshire Boulevard, I came across this noirish story...
The body being carried out...
At right, Norman Sterry, father of the victim, leaving the house (per USCDL caption). Judge Clinton N. Sterry, builder of 2607 Wilshire, was the victim's grandfather.
What I had not expected to find was this über-noir shot:
The bra on the doorknob is a nice touch...and it almost looks like she still has a Chesterfield between her fingers. Poor Louise... divorced... kids shipped
off to boarding school... all alone on New Year's Eve... she couldn't have been a happy gal.
I was surprised to find the house still standing and looking sweet:
