Haunted? A billboard ad for the movie "Get Hard" with Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, to be released soon, is reflected on the window panels' glass of what used to be the legendary and original Wolfgang Puck's Spago Restaurant on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. This building is embedded in the Hollywood Hills above the Sunset Strip, where many stars and other celebrities of those days would watch from the mirador-style windows the Strip's action, until it closed in 2001, and it has been unoccupied ever since. Luminaries such as Aaron Spelling would have a window table reserved, and many Oscar after-parties were held there. (And, on the subject of this photo, "Get Hard" might be the title of the movie, but Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart don't have to be so hard on each other on the phone, especially right in the window with the drapes open.)
