Attracted by Sausalito's striking beauty, artists, writers, musicians, actors and hippies took refuge there, with passenger ferries making it a popular destination spot. The famous Trident Restaurant was once a Mecca for Hollywood, the music industry and the New York hip. It was owned by the Kingston Trio and their colorful manager, Frank Werber, a holocaust survivor and self-proclaimed drug priest. Actor Robin Williams worked as a busboy there during this period. Legendary stars like the Rolling Stones were regulars and Janis Joplin had her own table. Sally Stanford, the San Francisco Ex-Madame who later became mayor of Sausalito, was a confidante of the famous and infamous. But no amount of prestige could save the Trident when William Ettleman and his gang of highly-skilled safecrackers targeted it.
