Some interesting facts from some of the best biographies ever made...The Wolf of Wall Street (2014)Real-life Jordan Belfort appeared in a brief role in the film's final scene, introducing his cinema stand-in Leonardo DiCaprio.Also, Jordan Belfort coached DiCaprio on his behavior, especially instructing him in the various ways he had reacted to the Quaaludes he abused as well as his drugged confrontation with Danny Porush.The chest beating and humming performed by Matthew McConaughey is actually a warming up ritual that he performs before acting.

Not sure what “interesting” means, but hotels here - in “traditionally-defined” Silicon Valley, which does not include San Francisco - are primarily business-focused.Few people who come to Palo Alto or San Jose are here are here for a “resort experience”. There are plenty of “destinations” nearby, such as San Francisco, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, etc that do have “resort-style” or “destination” hotels.If someone wants to stay in a high-end hotel while doing business in Silicon Valley, San Francisco has a bunch of them and is only an hour’s drive or hour and a half on the train away.There are a few decent hotels in the immediate area, of the higher-end business variety: Fairmont San Jose, Westin Palo Alto, and various “boutique” hotels, especially in Palo Alto.
