Interestingly, this house was used to film a movie in 1967, "Point Blank" Brewster’s extensive ranch-style estate is a private home at 7655 Curson Terrace, on a bluff overlooking Hollywood Boulevard, with fantastic views across the city. Described as ‘Japanese-Alpine’, there’s little to see from the road, the property was luxurious enough to have been rented by The Beatles during their 1966 tour.theeditroomfloor.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/unseen-photos-from-point-blank-part-7.html

I'm trying to figure out if there was a deeper connection to the Beatles with Hollywood Actress Linda Lawson. She was in the 1961 film NIGHT TIDE with Dennis Hopper and Marjorie Cameron. For those of you who don't know who Cameron is she was Jack Parsons' lover and fellow worker in magical Aleister Crowley rites along with L. Ron Hubbard. Linda Lawson is still alive in Los Angels and is credited on IMDB with being a "Passenger On The Bus" on MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. I am wondering if she met the Beatles and befriended them (or one of them) during one of their US tours. Here is a short bio on Marjorie Cameron: "Red haired, blue eyed Marjorie Cameron was born April 23, 1922, in Belle Plain, Iowa, and grew up in Wisconsin. Her parents were Hill Lislie Cameroun and Carrie V. (Ridenour) Cameroun. She was in the Navy in WWII, and served in Washington as an aide to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as a photographer. After the war she moved to Los Angeles. There she was introduced by a friend to the Agape Lodge of the OTO, where she met future husband John W. (Jack) Parsons. He was a pioneering genius in rocketry, an author, and very involved in the occult. He was associated with Aleister Crowley. Parsons considered her to be an "elemental" and in early 1946 she, Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard undertook the famous "Babylon Working", a long complex magical working attempting to create a magical child. She married Jack Parsons on October 19, 1946 in San Juan Capistrano, California. They were friends of many science fiction writers. Jack was killed in a mysterious explosion in Pasadena in 1952. At the time they were living with several artists and actors, and the house was reputed to be a hotbed of occult and sexual behavior not in keeping with Pasadena's image. She later married Sharif Kimmel. She saw a flying saucer in 1953 and became very interested in them. She painted and was involved in the Los Angeles art world. Her works have been shown at several major art museums".

"Leonard" was L Ron and "Shelton" (played by Jim PARSONS) was Jack Parsons! An interesting fact was NASA was mostly fake cause the earth is flat! So to keep busy they spent a lot of time on "magick"!

View Attachmentif linda lawson had a u.s. military orientation, or, military credentials, she would not have been welcome among the three beatles whether they knew about it or not. i would go with 'she was suggested' for inclusion on the bus by an outside party

I believe a member of the OTO was a man named SHELDON LEONARD, a REALLY interesting guy who started out as an actor, but would later become one of Hollywood's most successful producers. Not only is it rumored that he (along with Dinah Shore and Mae West) was a black man "passing" for white, he was responsible for top 10 shows like The Andy Griffith Show, Make Room for Daddy, Gomer Pyle and The Dick Van Dyke Show. He was also the mentor to Bill Cosby who, at Leonard's funeral, referred to him as his "second father". Stephana Stander, wife of formerly black-listed actor Lionel Stander (or maybe she was his daughter, I can't recall), also claims that the character played by Sidney Pollock (and mysteries abound concerning THAT guys death) in Eyes wide Shut is based on Sheldon Leonard and the goings-on at the Parsons home.
You can actually catch Sheldon as a young actor in It's a Wonderful Life where he plays Nick, the bartender who throws Jimmy Stewart and Clarence the angel out of Martini's Bar. It must be noted that it was after Leonard's time with the OTO that he goes from being a moderately successful actor to a wildly successful producer.

WOW interesting stuff! That ties together Hollywood and the OTO and maybe celebrity replacements! I don't remember anyone mentioning before but maybe MacFake is from Hollywood! An incredible number of rock stars live and have lived in L. A. and connections to the OTO etc. I will have to research this stuff some more! Thanks!
