A little more on Harry Herman. The first picture shows the outside of his living quarters. The caption of this 1937 picture says that Harry was 70 at the time. It also points out that "a calender [sic] and clock are tacked on the wall of his flimsy abode."

Was this Harry's bathroom?

Harry apparently once had a wife named Pearl. The news clipping about their divorce spells their surname as "Hermann".

There seems to be some uncertainty over Harry's age. The caption for this picture says
"Happy Harry Herman, the 77 year old hermit of Hollywood, takes his daily morning walk in Los Angeles. Throughout the year, he wears nothing else than his loincloth and sandals. California USA. Photograph November 4, 1933." I first found this picture in the blog named under the picture, but it appears to originate from
gettyimages.com.

Despite the similarity in their names, I was disappointed to learn that Herman's Hermits, the '60s English pop band, did not take their name from Harry Herman.
