Leslie Zemeckis , an actor, documentarian and author living in Montecito, Calif., on her 1954 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, as told to A.J. Years ago, I wrote a book and made a documentary about the history of burlesque, and I acquired a large collection of clothes from past burlesque stars. A friend of mine had an old Cadillac, and when I saw that car, I thought: “I get it.” It had that same vibe. This friend was the one who found my 1954 Cadillac at a dealership in Canada. I thought: This car is for me.
