 Eugene Walter (I) (qv) was a prolific Hollywood screenwriter of  the 1920s and 1930s. 6350 Franklin Avenue was the address of the  Alto Nido Apartments, where Walter lived, sometimes worked, and,  ultimately died in 1941. As "Sunset Boulevard" opens,  William Holden (I) (qv)s character Joe Gillis describes himself  as a Hollywood screenwriter "living in an apartment house above  Frankin Avenue". As the camera cranes up into the apartment, we can  see its the Alto Nido.
