Of all the places celebrities partied during Hollywood’s Golden Age, one of the most popular was more than four hours north of Tinseltown. Movie stars and others among Hollywood’s most famous drinkers often attended parties at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA, owned by publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst.
