Next, as many of you know, Gloria Swanson was one of Croton's most famous residents.  

She lived right here in Croton for a number of years on Mt. Airy Road. (Read AND see more at https://bit.ly/1QK6VdP)

Swanson's most famous film was SUNSET BOULEVARD, which recently had its 70th anniversary--(you can read more about that here.) 

We've always been fascinated with the mansion used in the movie....and one of the Everything Croton elves came across this fabulous youtube video on the since demolished building....click here. 

As many of you know, HOLBROOK BLINN (of Blinn Road fame) lived here in the village. A noted actor, you can read more about him here.
