And that strange actress Frances Farmer was arrested here in 1942, dragged from her room, and that ended in her lobotomy and all. And William Frawley – they guy who played Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy" – lived here for decades, and on March 3, 1966, died of a heart attack on the sidewalk in front of the place. And now this....
