Welcome to Dun & Dunn. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things Dominic Dunn.

Thank you for joining me for this first episode of 26 New Year, New Investigations.

We're going to have some fun intersecting all things our man Nick loved the most. A little high society, a little Hollywood,

and a whole lot of justice this year. In this episode, we begin 2026 by coming back to Dominic Dunn,

centering in on the main character in this investigation and intersecting Nick into Hollywood in a piece

that I think will sound familiar in many ways to you, but also with some new pieces of

information that will satisfy longtime listeners, as Dominic Dunn reveals all about his

sweet life at the Chateau Marmont.

Dunn will stay at this legendary hotel in Hollywood through his coverage of the Menendez

and the Simpson trials. This hotel was a big deal even further back for him in his time in Hollywood

in his first act too.

The Chateau Marmont even had a legendary place in Dunn's heart as a nine-year-old boy.

This one really does have everything you like directly from our man Nick.

I was delighted to get myself a little holiday gift this year, which is the Chateau

Marmont Hollywood Handbook, edited by Andre Belage, owner of the Chateau Marmont. Many amazing writers

in this compilation, a lot of really interesting bits of information.

The Chateau is such an iconic place in so much of Hollywood lore.

It is kind of all slung up in the cinematic universe of Dominic Dunn.

In this Chateau-Marmont Hollywood Handbook, our man, Dominic Dunn, has submitted an essay, dating it to about 1997 or so, giving the reader the whole story of his time in Hollywood and his time at the Chateau Marmont.

Quite delightful, I was chuffed to find this essay and you know I had to share it with you

because Dominic shared it all with us. Let's investigate.

Okay. Oh, investigators, let's have some fun today with a little trip through time.
