Located at 6850 E. Main St. (Indian School and 68th St) the Valley Ho became a kind of playground for Hollywood refugees, extending its hospitality to James Cagney, Rudy Vallee, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Marilyn Monroe. Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis made the hotel their home while filming a movie together. Jimmy Durante got a kick out of spontaneously playing and singing at the grand piano in the lounge.
