The Former ‘It’ Spa for Hollywood A-Listers Tries to Reclaim Its Glory
Golden Door spa reimagines itself as a luxury respite.
It was the place for Hollywood to recede, refresh, and renew. Or more accurately, to drop out, dry out, and lose those stubborn last 10 pounds before the next project. Burt Lancaster, Bob Cummings, and Johnny Weissmuller went on hikes here; Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Kim Novak, Barbra Streisand, and a thousand lesser lights hid out here. Aldous Huxley loved the mud wrap.
The place was the Golden Door, a 300-acre oasis in the desert hills of San Marcos, Calif., less than an hour north of San Diego. In 1959, Deborah Szekely and her husband, Edmund, a famous philologist and linguist, opened a mountain-lodge-meets-Japanese-tea-garden spa here, promising restoration and sanctuary. “In those early days, Golden Door was known as a fat farm,” says Susie Ellis, a former staff member and now chief executive officer of the Global Wellness Institute in Miami. “Every woman was given pink warmup suits called pinkies, with matching pink turbans. And they all had avocado oil in their hair. It was quite a scene.”

Why is everything always a vagina to you, Mr. Badger?
Clearly, the "Golden Door" is a reference to the Golden Tablets which Brigham Young miraculously acquired, leading to the Pepsi - Subway - Hewlett Packard Mormon Empire.
So it's vaginal, but with Magic Underwear.... "The Garment".

San Marcos should in no way
San Marcos should in no way be considered 'desert hills'. Suburban hell is more apt.
And it was Joseph Smith who received the golden tablets and founded Mormonism. B.Yound took 'em to Utah after Joe got himself shot and kilt.
