Hollywood Quote by Bobby Underwood

“I liked the beat, too — Hollywood and the City of Angels. It had been a long time since any angels had appeared here, but enough of the old buildings and old stars still hung around to remind you of what she’d been once, in a world far, far away.” quote by Bobby Underwood
