Living Near a Freeway

After 15 years as Samuel Goldwyn Jr.'s personal chef, cooking for celebrity guests Neil Simon, Charlton Heston and others, Fujie Wade took a room in a retirement home overlooking eight lanes of the 101. Her first move was to sink $2,000 into wall-to-wall drapes that block both the view and the racket.

"But if I didn’' have the drapes, I don't think I'd last a month."
