L.A. quote of the day: "My high school, which was a mile away from the beach, was filled with the sort of natural beauties who have come to personify Los Angeles. The photographer Bruce Weber regularly recruited his models from the halls of Pali High. My gym locker was next to that of a future Playboy centerfold. Everyone was tan and mostly blond and effortlessly beautiful in a way that I would never see again in my life." — Lynn Hirschberg, in the New York Times about Palisades High School in the mid-1970s.
