Beverly Hills. It was around here that Max Senate used to hold his Sunday morning wild boar hunts
on horseback. Most of these homes were built and paid for during the great silent days of movies
before taxes were a fact of life when people could afford to live like kings and queens.
To your left, ladies and gentlemen, is the Lorna Love Estate, a 36 room mansion built
at a cost of over $3 million for the beautiful and world famous actress whose tragic death in
1935 saddened her millions of fans across the globe. The day after Lawler's funeral,
a shrine was built directly behind the trees up there. Folks, use your imagination.
Think of Lorna as beautiful as ever. As you remember her, her body imbalmed up there in
her shrine, lying up there forever. Excuse me. Huh? We'd like to get off here. Sorry.
It's company rules. No one's allowed to get off the bus insurance, you know. Well, my wife is
pregnant. Congratulations, but that don't mean a thing to me. And I'm feeling a little sick.
[laughter]
Oh, George. George. Now, I really don't feel well. Are you serious? No. Now, that's not fair.
This is the first time for me. I've never been I mean, you've never We've never been pregnant.
Oscar, why'd you come up in that thing? If it was a tour you wanted,
I could have arranged something with the studio. Sure, you could have, Oscar,
but that's not what we were interested in. We wanted to look at their faces and look at the
dreams and see how much of Laura Love is still alive. And believe me, she is alive and well. What
do you say I drive you in and kiss you goodbye? Got to get out of here. I got things to do. Hey,
the wind's starting to blow. Well, the radio said it'd be a storm tonight. [music]
[music] Oh,
[music] [music]
[music] heat.
[music]
Heat. Heat. [music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
I'll never understand you writers. You can write the same thing in a
nice clean modern office in Beverly Hills as you can hear. If you ask me, you're all nuts.
There's supposed to be a housekeeper of Clara Joseph's. At least that's
what the studio said. I'm glad they gave me a key.
Sorry, honey. It must have been the wind. I don't know where it
came from. You brought it with you from New York.
Hello? Anybody home?
Mrs. Joseph's.
Mrs. Joseph,
the housekeeper should be here. I'd feel a lot better if she'd show up.
The door is locked.
Mrs. Joseph, this is Mr. and Mrs. Gregory. How do you do?
I didn't expect you this early. [music]
[music]
I'd seen photographs of it when I saw some preliminary sketches my father did. [music]
I thought I knew what to expect. [music] But I never thought it would be like this.
[music] It's magnificent. Your father was a great artist, Joel, but you're right. There's really
something special about that painting. Sure, it's the model. Yeah, the most beautiful model in the
world. No, it's not it, Oscar. It's not all of it, anyway. It's something else. It's love.
There was great love between you.
[music]
He was like you. Same face, the father and the son. [music]
Did you know him? Were you working here when they were living together? Your
rooms are upstairs to the left. I'll open the rest of the house for you.
You know, the book you're going to write should be a love story about a great artist
and the equally great actress that opened up the world to him. I mean, she worshiped him.
and he worshiped her. The romance that the whole world talked about. Fantastic love story.
Bigger than Epsile and Zelda. Bigger than that. Bigger than that. Bigger than life. All right,
Oscar. You can stop selling. We've already signed your contracts.
Wait a minute. Mrs. Joe say right or left? I think she said left.
It's locked. Fascinating. It's always fascinating me what's behind locked
doors. Come on. You'll find out soon enough. Mrs. Johnson says she was going to open up the house.
Oh, wow. Hey, look what's here to meet us.
Hey, thanks, Oscar. I'll tell you what. I'll give you a call at the office when we get all
the research together. Research? What research? It's a love story. Boy meets girl, boy gets girl,
boy loses girl. What more is there? Well, there's a little bit more, Oscar, because in this case,
the girl's Laura Love and the boy is Joel Gregory Senior, who just happens to be the father of one
of the authors. I never really knew him, Oscar. I hardly ever saw him when I was a
kid. By the time I was a man, he died, so you can understand there's a lot I want to find out about
him. Besides, Oscar, you know the way we work. We're more journalists than we are novelists,
so the research is everything. Okay. Okay. Okay. have it your way. You'll do the research. You'll
write a great book, but it means nothing if nobody knows about it. So, talking about publicity,
what publicity? There's a shot the studio wants to use of the pair of you. Uh-oh. Can I see you,
sweetheart? They want to release it. They want to let the public know about the book. Let them
start talking about who's going to play the part in the movie. Scar of you. Look,
Joe. Yeah. That's really beautiful, isn't it? So, Oscar, where is the shrine to the goddess of love?
Can't miss it. Any road you take on this place leads to the monument of that broad's ego. Jolo,
come here. There's somebody out here. [music] Come on. Come on. I just saw
a lady all in white with a white chiffon scar. She looked like something out of a
1930s World magazine. She ran right down that walk. That's the fry. Yeah. Let's go take a
look. You go. I got to get off these hills before the rain hits. They'll be treacherous.
I'll see you later. Hey, come on, Oscar. It's not going to rain. I want to see the
shrine. When you get a few pages written, give me a call. [music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
Heat. Heat. [music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
[music]
Can you believe that? Incredible. [music] She's even more beautiful than I imagined.
She's not as beautiful as your father painted her to. He gave her a soul.
Spooky.
Hey, come on. Let's get out of here.
[music]
[music]
To millions of her fans all over the world, it seems incredible that Laura Love is dead.
But the funeral of the beloved star of My Love Lies Sleeping and The Blue Moth, to name only
a few of her films, was viewed by thousands of grieving filmgoers in Hollywood's Grotto
of Light channel. Miss Love died quietly in her home Friday night. But to all of us who knew her,
Luna Love did not leave us. She was and is a legend, and legends never die. Some of them
don't even fade away. Colin Carol, the man who directed Lorna in her first hit, Garden of Desire.
Denise Christian, Lorna's only rival in Filland, but no serious contender for the goddess of love.
[music]
Who's a character with a cat? You tell me. [music] Corin Carol. Born's first director.
Any chance he might still be alive? Yeah. We'll find out. He was one of the biggies,
wasn't [music] he? He was up there with DW Griffith and Deil.
Now, there's uh Denise Christian. What about her? Put her on the list. She's
alive. She probably has some juicy tales to tell about Laura and dying to tell.
Well, hello cat. Hello.
Oh my god. Joel. Joel. This thing is stuff. What's stuff? This cat. Stop.
Thought it was the same cat we found upstairs in the bedroom.
Look at that.
It certainly could be one of its ancestors
nose feratu.
Mona was certainly a lady of singular taste.
Malas, Malifacarium, Witch's Hammer, Q. Life beyond a grave.
Well, I don't know what we're going to find out about you,
Lorna, but I have a feeling you're not going to be my kind of lady.
Hey, that cat must have really spooked you as just someone at the front for Mrs. Joseph. I get it.
What are we going to bet on, Mrs. Josephs? Or our nerves?
Come on,
Joseph.
My name is Conan Cow. Carl, sorry I didn't recognize you. Gregory,
are you just kid? I'm his son. Come here. My wife, John. How'd you get? I'm writing
a book about my father and daughter. That's why I'm here. I suppose the studios hired
you because they think you know the story, but you don't. You know nothing of her love.
That's why I'm here to tell you I want the world to know the evil ugly witch that I love really was
and not to see her again. Um, Mr. Carol, could I take your coat? You must be self. I created
her. I mold her out of clay and dirt and made her what the world thought she was. Write that.
Tell them that. And then tell the world what she did to me. how she repaid me. Anna wasn't even a
shadow on the screen till I took hold of her. I showed her how to walk, how to smile, how to use
those hypnotic eyes. They were beautiful eyes. When she tried to look at a man with passion,
they were empty because there wasn't anything inside her. I gave her everything. I made the gods
in the heavens bow down to her. She believed all the lies they wrote about her. She was obsessed
with that father eternal fire. Who's that? A faith healer of some sort. Could that be the guy in the
funeral film? That's when she turned on everyone. She ruined me. She destroyed me. She smashed me.
The way Joe Gregory smashed all those mirrors of hers. Mr. Cal, my father. He was the only one that
had the strength to walk away from her while he was still a whole human being. You know what he
told her? She had no soul except the one he gave her when he did that painting of her because she
was empty inside, lifeless. Oh, there's more, much more that nobody knows about Lana. things no one
else would ever believe. Things no one but I knew. I can't tell you here. Mr. Carol, it's
awfully late. Why don't you stay tonight and then we can talk some more in the morning. I wouldn't
sleep from her house one night. I'd rather be dead. Mr. Carol, it is raining pretty heavily
on set. I think it would be best way to stay. I'll call you tomorrow. The things you ought to know.
Mr. Carol, it really isn't safe to drive. You
sure you don't want to spend the night? I'll call you tomorrow.
Down.
Heat. Heat. Heat. [music]
Fire
[music]
heat.
[music]
[music]
[music]
According
to the doctor, it was like a heart attack. Well, last night I saw him drive away. It's
the last time I saw it. I didn't think he'd come back. It's funny. The last thing I would have
thought he'd come back for would be to see the shrine. You see, that path leads to the shrine
I've blown love. That's the only reason he'd be on it. Excuse me, ma'am. Is there anything you
might be able to tell me? I went to bed early. I didn't see him come. I didn't see him go.
If there's anything else, we'll be
I'm frightened.
You're also pregnant. Yeah, you're sh I know the difference between fear and pregnancy.
I need a sweater.
[music]
[music]
[music] Don't
let high
These are all autographed pictures from friends of mis love
to beauty from the beast on the journey.
[music]
If jealousy is a cardinal sin, I'd rather be in hell. Clara Bau,
[music] [music]
marry me and take me to heaven. Come and Carol,
let my eyes be your mirrors. Joe,
did he love her as much as they say? More. Much more. Tell me about them.
There's too much. I don't know. Too much. I can only guess it. Well,
guess for me. Tell me about them.
Souse will tell you the story. Shoot.
Learn from the house. Stay here.
What about the uh doors that are locked across from our bedroom?
Why can't I get in there? It was her room, hers, and your father's.
How can anybody talk about their love? Something you feel, not talk about.
They loved
then.
Go on.
This was your father's studio.
It's exactly as it was when he left it. Nothing's been changed. Nothing.
All of this work
It's worth a great deal of money today. Why didn't Lona sell it
after he left? For what? Money? She loved you.
Did you like him, Mrs. Joseph? Did you like my father? I was the housekeeper here. I did my job.
I liked people who were pleased with my work. Did he like you? Yes. At least he said he did.
May I talk to you again? May I count on you to help?
What's the matter? Look at this. You know what that is? No. That's an a thing. It's a ritual
knife used in witchcraft. See the pentagram? And that's the divine crystal. Well, yeah. Whatever
it is, it was used to cut this picture. I found it in the same bureau drawer. Where's the other half?
I don't know. Oh, I looked all through the drawer. I couldn't find it. But honey, don't get so upset.
I mean, if it's the picture you're worried about, we can call the studio and get another copy. Joel,
it's not the picture, and you know it now. Come on, don't make fun of me. You better not
tell me I'm overreacting because I'm pregnant either. All right, sweetheart. Take it easy. I
know you're upset about Mr. Carol. And And look, maybe doing the book is getting to you. I Yeah,
it's not the book. It's this house. This house has been a scene of too many strong emotions,
too many tragedies, and too many secrets. It's like the way the sin of flowers stays
in a room long after they're gone. You remember we wrote that. Only these flowers have been dead
a long time, and they don't smell so sweet. All right, honey. Okay. I mean, maybe we started the
book at the wrong time. Maybe we're here at the wrong time, but we're stuck with it. So,
let's do our thing. Wrap it up and finish it. All right. Now, what's on for today? Hey, come on.
Denise Christian. Denise Christian. How were you able to find Lorna's only rival in Filmland? I
called the actor's guilt. That was before I found myself cut out of the picture. Literally speaking,
I might add. Well, I guess that's the best place to call to find an actor. Where is she?
This brand of coffee has been around a long time. It's pleased a lot of
people because it knows how to please. Maybe that's why I like it so well,
because we've got something in common. Why don't you drop by and share a pot with me sometime?
And cut. That's nice of you. Right on the button. Okay, that's a friend. Uh,
let's get ready for the insert. Excuse me. Excuse me, Miss Christian. I'm Joel Gregory.
This is my wife, Donna. How do you do, Miss Christian? We're writing a book
about my father and about Lorna Love. Can we talk to you about that? You look like him.
You've got the same kind of intensity. I bet they tell you that all the time,
don't they, Joel Gregory? Yes, they they have. Oh, why don't you run along and mix
us a drink? I want to talk to these people about old times. It'll make me very sad. So,
you want to know about Lorna Love? Yes. We'd like to know what you thought about I hated the witch.
Why? There were a lot of reasons to hate Lorna Love. Person didn't have to look too long or too
far to find them. We started at the same studio together. I got all of her leftover parts. You
know, the one she didn't want. Then one of them made me almost as big a star as she was. That was
reason enough to get me thrown off the payroll. She tried to blackball me with every studio,
but she couldn't. She couldn't do to me what she did to poor Conan Carol. God bless his soul.
Then there was your father. I met him first. I found him. I didn't know that. How? He was in the
art department at the studio. He was good. I fell head over heels in love with him. I showed some of
his paintings around to help him. And then Lorna got wind of him. I think at first she did it just
to tear me apart. She went after him and she got it. She opened a whole world for him. something I
couldn't do. I was very happy for him. But the happier I was for him, the more I found myself
hating her. There was something about um a healer, something of a faith healer. Do you know anything
about that? Father, eternal fire. He taught her all about hypnotic drugs, and she still couldn't
get a night's sleep. She gave him a fortune because he promised her she would never grow old,
that she would never lose her beauty. After your father smashed all the mirrors and left,
she lived in a spiritual world, the world of father eternal fire. Miss Christian, do you know
why my father would have left Lorna? One morning, I guess he woke up and found out that he really
wanted to live. This was impossible with Lorna. Why? because she destroyed everything she touched.
Excuse me, Miss Christian. I'm sorry to interrupt, but uh we need your hands in the insert. Well,
can we talk again soon? How long will you be here? Where are you staying? Love house.
Thank you very much, Miss Christian. I enjoy talking to you. Bye. Thanks very
much. Wait a minute. You look like a nice couple. Do yourselves a favor.
Get out of love house. There's nothing but death there. [music]
[laughter]
Okay, that's it. I've had it. Come on, let's go up. Start with up, will you,
sweetheart? Give me a few minutes. I'll be right up. Okay. All right.

Donna. Huh?
I heard screaming. What's wrong?
What's happened? Gas.
[laughter]
Fresh air. She needs fresh air. I'll open the window.
All right, [laughter] come in. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe in. Breathe. Breathe. Okay.
She'll be all right. She'll be just fine now. The gas heater. It's an old house.
An old heater. You must learn to be careful. I couldn't close the gas. It's all over now.
It's all over. I'll make her a nice cup of hot tea. She'll feel better then. Thanks,
Mr. Joseph. [laughter] I don't know what I would have done without you. I would
never been able to get in there. I'll get that tea now. Oh, sweet.
It's okay now, honey. Everything is under control. I couldn't open the door. All you
had to do was turn the lock. I didn't lock it, Joel. I didn't lock the door.
The light reactions. No, Joel. I didn't lock the
door. I didn't lock it. I didn't lock it. I didn't lock it. I didn't lock it.
[music]
[music]
What did you find?
Where did you find that? What? In Lorna's collection
of roles? What's the matter, sweetheart?
Lorna loved Walts. Yeah,
I heard this before last night when you went upstairs to take a shower. I fell asleep down
here and I had a dream. Even in the dream, I heard that music. I heard that before I heard
you call it that was Lorna and there were mirrors and it was that music and that very same music.
Now people don't dream about music. Note for note I mean I just never heard about that before. Well,
sweetheart, it could be the same thing that happens to you when you go into a place
and you feel like you've been there before. No, it's nothing like that.
I saw my father in the dream. [music]
I saw my father and I saw I saw him with her. I saw the way it was with them both.
Tell me about it, Joe. [music] I can't. I mean,
it just isn't words that fit it. I know it. [music] I can feel it.
Joel, let's get out of this house. No, I don't want to leave the house. Look,
Oscar was right. We can do our writing in town. I don't want to go to town of Reich. We need this
place for research. I mean, my father's paintings are here. Lorna's old movies, her publicity books,
and he's here. Donna, believe me, I know he's here. I can feel him. I can feel my father like
I've never felt him before. I can't leave. Well, you can leave if you want to. I mean,
there's no reason for both of us to stay, but I can't. No. No. We'll stay together.
Are you hungry? Uh, no I'm not. Okay, then we'll skip breakfast and we'll
get going cuz we got places to go, people to meet. Look what I found.
Cella Geffenhart, president of the Lona Love fan club. Right. I called
her. She'll see us anytime we want. How about now? Huh? Now. Come on. [music]
[music]
[music]
Dorna gave me this house. Did you know that? Oh, she was wonderful to people. She just gave this
house to me and didn't even ask for a penny. I have her pictures still. I loved her. The whole
wide world did, but they didn't know her like me. I knew how wonderful she really was. I can't
wait to see the movie. Who's going to play Lorna's part? Do you get your pick? We're just writing the
book, Miss Geffenheart. Other people decide that. There you are. Well, whatever you want to know,
you just ask me. Cuz me and her were close. Very close. I was like a little sister to her. That's
what she called me, little sister. Marcella, in the photograph, there's you and Lorna. Who's
the man in the middle in the black robes? Oh, that's um that's father eternal fire. He was
a very spiritual man. He he believed in certain things like people should love one another. And
uh do you think You know what that is? More or less. The one at love house, Laura's a thing,
has a has a pentagram on it. This one seems to be a little different. No, it isn't. Marcela,
do you visit Laura Shrine very often? I think we've heard enough for today, sweetheart. I've
got a few more. Come back and see another time. Oh, yeah. Please come back. Then we'll go now.
You will come back, won't you? Because uh I'd like to talk about Lauren. Nobody else seems
to want to anymore. They they forget. And I think it's awful. Well, I don't forget and I never will.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you. Thank you. You'll hurry back, won't you?
[music]
[music]
[music]
Okay, sweetheart. You want to tell me why you did that? Said what? Well, you practically threw me
out of the house. You uh were beginning to lean on her a bit. You were getting a little heavy. Joel,
she's the woman I saw outside the window the first day we were at Lorna's house. What woman? What do
you mean? You remember I told you the woman in the white chiffon scarf? I saw her and then she
ran down the walkway. Look, I'm sure it was her. Well, even if it was her, what difference does
it make? Will you tell me that? Okay. Why was she running? What was she doing there? Look,
why are you getting so upset? You saw the ethane and suddenly something has snapped inside of you.
Snapped. Joel, look, there's things going on in that house that I don't understand. I think
Marcela Geffinhar can tell me about them. She doesn't have to tell you anything. And maybe,
just maybe, you don't have a right to ask. It was Laura's house. The way she loved her,
maybe she has more of a right to be there than you do. You sound like
you're choosing up sides. And you sound like you're a jealous woman.
[music]
[music]
What's this one called? My love lies sleeping. A silent film. The last thing Lona did for
Con and Carol. Oh, last thing Lan ever did for Con and Carol was to ruin him.
It's really pretty good, isn't she? She's wonderful.
She had magic. Hey, come on. All you've been doing
all evening is watching her old movies. You think it's enough? Now watch this.
Go ahead. Just don't take a shower tonight.
Jo,
[music] [music]
I want to be alone with you, Joe.
[music] Just you. I love you, [music]
Joel. I need you. [music]
Where are we headed? Doesn't matter.
out.

Heat.
[music]
[music]
I'm not trying to wonder.
[music]
[music]
Joe, darling, you know we're out of champagne.
[music] Oh, there's Conan Carol's replacement. I can't say I like him any better. So,
at last I have a chance to meet Queen Lorna's new consort. So, I'd like you to meet Eric Herman,
a director I want to meet. Oh, you damn. Well, I may ask. Go away, Eric. Before
I tell everybody what a miserable lover you really were, the lady said to go away, listen.
Joe, I want to go someplace else. I want to be alone with you.
We'll be together always. I'll never let you go.

Joel,
what's happening? What are you doing? I'm leaving. I want you to come with
me. What are you talking about? We've got work to do. Can't leave. Joel,
please talk to me. At least talk to me. About what, honey? About last night, about this house,
about you and me. Look, we haven't got time for that. I I've got to see footage
on Lorna. I want to go over the scrapbooks again. Joel, we've got to stop long enough
to talk about what's happening to us. Nothing is happening to us. Do you call last night nothing?
Do you call finding you on her bed out of your mind calling her name? Nothing.
Joe,
something's happening that I don't understand. Something that you don't understand. She's evil.
Stop it. And this house is rotten with her memory. Stop it. All you've done since we've been here is
make fun of her, ridicule her. You've done nothing but dirty her memory from the beginning. You keep
attacking her. You are. You attack her. Joel, please come with me to town. We can finish the
book there. We can work there. It has to be written here. Written here where it happened.
But you're not writing it. You haven't put one word on paper since we've been here.
You've gotten so wrapped up in Lorna's legend and a whole Hollywood pack of lies about her,
you can't even recognize the truth. Oh, and you know the truth. In a few days research,
you know the truth about Lorna Love. I don't think so. Now, let me tell you something. Lorna
was no two-dimensional figure of evil. No, Lilith. She was she was a very special lady. Now I know
why my father was in love with her. He had the strength to walk away from her. And maybe that's
the only mistake that he ever made in his life. Joel, can you hear yourself? Just listen to what
you're saying. I know what I'm saying. Go away from this house. Donna, you don't belong here.
She doesn't want you here and I don't want you here.

I was just a kid in the agency when Lorna was alive. Oh, she was something. All right. Everyone
jumped when she walked in. A star. A star. Me? I never even liked her. I mean, she was a weirdo to
begin with. They talked about orgs and all that up at our place. I don't know. I was never even
invited. Okay, Oscar, just go on, please. I don't really know that much. Just what I heard. After
Joel's father left, she and this crazy nut in a black cape. It's Father Eternal Fire. Yeah. Yeah.
Father, whoever he was, he suggested to Lorna some kind of uh ceremony to bring Joel Senior back.
She paid him a fortune for it. It involved fire. Crazy. Well, they tried it and something
went wrong and Lorna got badly burnt and she never left the house after that. But
Oscar Lorna's body doesn't have any burns on it. Doesn't have any scars. In this town, you don't
have to look far off for skillful cosmetic people, plastic surgeons, anything you want.
Oscar,
you know what I am? I'm a three- room apartment in New York or an
unbalanced budget. I'm just a lady who wants her husband and her baby.
with all the trips to the laundette and the mortgages that go with it. Really?
But Laura's eternal.
Lorna is eternal. It's like champagne that never goes flat or moonlight or a walls.
How do I fight that, Oscar?
Please help me get my husband back.
Okay, if you want him back, go get him. If
you have to pull them out of there kicking and screaming, go get him.

She was beautiful.
I can understand some of it. after the fire and what happened to her face. Well,
you said it, Oscar. She didn't want the world to know. She didn't want to be remembered as
anything but beautiful. I guess it's a happy ending for Lorna after all.
[music]
All she wanted was to be adored, to be worshiped forever. Oh,
she'll have that now for sure. [music]
[music]
[music]
Yeah.
