Juel Park sold rose point lace gowns for $1500 “back in the day.” The store’s owner was a 22-year old aspiring actress named Juel Park, who found more success “behind the seams” than in front of the camera. Fine lace, sophisticated fabrics and complete discretion helped make the classy store a success. Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Gloria Swanson, Gloria Vanderbilt, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, Zsa- Zsa Gabor and more shopped here. Juel’s grand-niece Suzanne Skaff is now in charge of the family’s lacy legacy; find the Juel Park of today on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/juelpark.

I’d like permission to use the photo of the Juel Park store window for a book I am writing about the Ambassador Hotel. My grandfather gave Juel the money to start her store in Beverly Hills.
