Here's a trivial Houdini fact...
I was doing some research and came across a document that listed Bess Houdini's address in 1936 as 1616 North Curson Ave in Hollywood, Ca. Here is what it looked like in 2012. It is listed on Zillow http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1616-N-Curson-Ave-West-Hollywood-CA-90046/20794260_zpid/
Bess Houdini died from a heart attack on February 11, 1943 while in Needles, California, aboard an eastbound train traveling from Los Angeles to New York City.
