Hollywood CC

Cricinfo have published a fascinating article on Hollywood Cricket Club, the Los Angeles based cricket club founded by former English player and early Hollywood star Charles Aubrey Smith. Patronised over the years by players such as Laurence Olivier, David Niven, Cary Grant, Boris Karloff and, more recently, Hugh Grant the club is a fascinating relic of old-fashioned English upper-class twittery and the article is well worth a read.
