Growing up at the Beverly Wilshire
he grew up in Beverly Hills and lived in
a =palace". Her everyday meals were
created by world renown chefs. Visitors
to her "home" were princes, kings and
queens, as well as some of the most powerful
people in the world. Celebrities and movie
stars nodded to her a "hello."
As a young girl, her favorite movie was
Love In The Aftmoon and her favorite song
was Fascination, from the tlovie. Every after-
noon she and her father would swim in the
Olympic-sized pool while musicians played
that song on their violins for her, Was she a
fairy princess? Not quite. She was Susan
O'Brien, and her home was the Beverly
Wilshire Hotel -- the hotel managed by her
father, Harry O'Brien.
Today, Susan is a lovely, cheerful and
seemingly well-adjusted woman who smiles a
warm smile as she remembers what it was like
growing up in one of the most elegant hotels in
the world that she just called "home."
She remembered one day when she was
rushing to get to school. She got into the ele-
vator and there was a rather handsome man in
the elevator. He smiled at her, and she recog-
nized him...It was Elvis Presley! She talked
about the wonderful parties that took place at
the hotel, For some reason, the one that
stands out to her the most is one that was given
poolside by Spencer Tracy in the 1950s to ben-
fit the John Tracy Clinic. The clinic was
named after his son, who was born deaf, The
guest list was one celebrity after another, and
the decorations were unbelievable. Susan said
she never saw the hotel look so lovely as it did
then.
The new wing of the hotel was not built at
the time she was growing up at the hotel, so
Susan talked about the beautiful gardens and
walkways that were there then. She used to go
