Notable Resident from the Past

I am reading the old Gaylord Glimpses magazine from January 1928 and came across this wonderful tidbit under Social News;

" Miss Constance Talmadge entertained in her apartment with a dinner party for four on December 26th. The decorations were gorgeous red roses and her guests were Mr. and Mrs. Buster Keaton (Natalie Talmadge), and Buster Collier, Jr."

Buster Keaton being of course the great comedic silent film star. And the Talmadge sisters holding their own as impressive silent film stars along with their 3rd sister, Norma (the Talmadge apartment building, located at Wilshire Blvd & Berendo.) Buster Collier, Jr., another active actor & producer, was linked romantically to Constance. Constance may still have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6300 Hollywood Blvd.
Just imagine what fun those 4 had on that night of the 26th of December in the Gaylord! I wonder what apartment they were in?
