Charles Brackett

Day twenty-two of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.

Today’s entry from 1946 comes from Charles Brackett, who along with Billy Wilder made one of the most successful filmmaking teams in cinema history. There is a great read about their relationship here for those interested.

We love you, Los Angeles!
