Filming of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Due to its location next to the Pantages Theater, Frolic Room was a popular celebrity hangout, particularly during the eleven years (1949–1959) the Pantages hosted the Academy Awards. Regular patrons included Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Charles Bukowski, and others, and from 1949 to 1954 both the Pantages and Frolic Room were owned by Howard Hughes. Hughes added the iconic neon sign to the building exterior during his ownership. Film location: Frolic Room is a popular Hollywood film location. Films and television shows that shot here include: LA Confidential, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Black Dahlia, A Woman Under the Influence, Colombo, Bosch, and more

Barney's Beanery?

Barney's relocation to West Hollywood, combined with the fact that the owner extended credit and occasionally gave away food, made the bar popular with people of diverse backgrounds, including artists, writers, and other celebrities. Older Hollywood actors such as Clara Bow, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Judy Garland and Rita Hayworth were all regulars in their day. By the 1960s, the neighboring Sunset Strip had become an important music center, and Jim Morrison (who was reportedly thrown out of Barney's for urinating on the bar) and Janis Joplin became regulars (Barney's was the final place Joplin visited before her death in October 1970). Poet Charles Bukowski hung around, as did artists Ed Kienholz and others associated with the Ferus Gallery, which was located nearby on La Cienega Boulevard. Quentin Tarantino also allegedly wrote most of the screenplay for his film Pulp Fiction sitting in his favorite booth at the original Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood.

(I probably spent too much time in both bars, especially Barney's, in my twenties.)

Maria Sharapova ?
 
Sharapova. I remember her as she was at La Costa right after winning Wimbledon in 2004, and can't help thinking there's a nice person inside (the friendly Maria of 2004) who developed a hard, rude protective shell after getting famous. She's nice to her inner-circle, and cold to everyone else. This is not an unusual Russian trait.
