L.A. Despair by John Gilmore

A black pimp was paying for Barbara's room at the run-down Chesterfield Hotel on Wilcox, called by film historian and underground filmmaker Nick Bougas, “the seediest spot in the universe.” Bougas says, “It's an area where cops are jumping twenty-four hours; where losers and those who have fallen too far to come back teeter on the edge of despair and madness for a few more weeks—a few more hours. It's where veteran actor Victor Killian was chased down and beaten to death by junkies for his television set. Two hookers were found beheaded in the same area as the Chesterfield … That part of Hollywood is the absolute bottom of the hole—the unwiped asshole of the world.”
Barbara would yell at strangers on the street. “Nobody wants to hear my story! I go to these damn people and I tell’ em who I am and I'm fucking broke—I'm flat fucking broke and I was a goddamned movie star! I see all these fucking people at premieres and nobody wants to know what the fuck's happened—that I haven't got a fucking bed to sleep in and I haven't got a dime and I'm goddamned broke and can't even get a fucking drink!”
