The Chelsea / Loud Echos of American Family

The Chelsea

I chose the Wikipedia article on the Chelsea Hotel so that you could understand why Lance Loud would be attracted to living there. It has been a home to many famous actors, musicians, and artists over the past decades.

If you were in New York City today, would you want to stay in the Chelsea Hotel?

Loud Echos of American Family

I chose this article, now 10 years old, so that you would know how the Loud family's story was finished on television. They had a 10-year anniversary program in 1983 that visited them in their respective homes and careers. This final episode, filmed in 2001, shows the last days of Lance Loud. In this episode, he describes how being on television changed his life, not always in a positive way.

Does knowing about his death change your opinion of the family? Do you think Lance had a good reason to want to be on television again?
