Talk:David Tallichet

He fired me

I was the doorman for his PSA Hotel Queen Mary. We had very little business at all and I worked the night shift. The best part of the job was parking the Maserati's and Ferarri's. Not being very tall, they gave me a ship's officer uniform that was way too huge. He pulled on the front of it to "tighten it up" with no success. I was too small to wear the uniform.

The head bellman called me into the bellman's office and said, "Hey. David Tallichet says I have to let you go." I then became the night shift switchboard operator. Beat standing on the dock all night. And I could eavesdrop on phone calls for the hell of it, and learned that EVERY hotel switchboard operator could do the same thing.

He was a nice guy. I'd do his wife. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blondesareeasy (talk • contribs) 23:36, 11 November 2013 (UTC) Blondesareeasy (talk) 23:47, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

oversell

This article seems to claim with no supporting evidence that opening a tiki bar around 1958 was somehow daring or innovative. Themed tiki bars go back to the 1930s. Perhaps Mr Tallichet's were somehow innovative, or perhaps he was simply better at marketing or had better food, but there's no evidence here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.195.228 (talk) 04:13, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

In 1955 he was managing the Lafayette Hotel in Long Beach, California, which hosted a Miss Universe beauty pageant; he later married the contestant from Indiana.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_USA_1954, delegate from Indiana was Cecilia Ann Dennis, but in 1954.E.Polti (talk) 08:53, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Tallichet

If one wants to know how he talked, how he moved, then watch Paul Newman in the movie Blaze.

To clear up the wife confusion, Cecilia was his first wife, Carol the second, both extraordinary women. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reportert (talk • contribs) 02:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
