In September 2016, I visited the home at 1579 Benedict Canyon Drive where George Reeves (Clark Kent/Superman from "The Adventures of Superman") lived in when he died mysteriously from a gunshot wound that he suffered while on the second floor of this house. For an interesting analysis of this case, murder or suicide, you can watch the movie "Hollywoodland", with Ben Affleck playing George Reeves.

Otis Williams

Otis Williams is the last surviving original member of The Temptations singing group. This photo was taken on January 27, 2020 at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. He was on his way to LA and I was heading to New Orleans via a gate in the same terminal. I recognized him because he was wearing a Temptations tour jacket with the name "Otis" on the front (Someone else with him was wearing a similar jacket with the name "Derrick", I think). I figured it had to be him, and it was. I posted the picture to Twitter, and the Temptations' Twitter handle "liked" it.
