A man named Ken Hansen originally opened it across the street in 1947. Ten years later he moved into its more famous location and began serving Scandinavian cuisine to a rich and famous clientele. His sister-in-law Teddy Hansen served as the hostess in charge of greeting and seating the beautiful people and she knew everybody. In the early seventies the Hansens sold Scandia to magazine publisher Bob Petersen he of the automotive magazines. By then the character of Sunset Boulevard was beginning to change. Other businesses in that area including the Roxy nightclub and the Rainbow Bar and Grill attracted a younger rowdier crowd. Every night police were busting drug dealers within yards of Scandia and it did a lot to drive Scandia’s older wealthy clientele to other newer eateries. The place finally closed in 1989." oldrestaurants website unknown books

193822696ELondon: Faber and Faber 1938. First Edition - British. A used and handled copy with some tape marks at the endpapers a bit of fading to the cloth at the spine some rubbing and a few tiny edge tears without dust jacket. A classic Hollywood novel published under the pseudonym of Jane Shore and Silvia Schulman who had been employed as a personal secretary to famed producer David O. Selznick in the mid-1930’s but had left her position to marry screenwriter Ring Lardner Jr. from whom she divorced in 1945. The narrative of the story is obviously based on Schulman’s experiences as an innocent in Hollywood and her adventures with Selznick and Lardner. It was no secret that Selznick was outraged by the book’s publication and tried unsuccessfully to prevent Orson Welles from adapting it for broadcast on January 27 1939 on the CBS radio program Campbell Playhouse.
