My name is Frank Conn, and I'm the proprietor of Hollywood Love Rugs. For over 30 years I have catered to the professional trade and entertainment industries, and since 1999 we have brought our internet customers the same quality merchandise, specialized knowledge and personalized service. We work with custom orders and specialized needs, and have access to any rug available. I grew up in Brooklyn, but moved to Los Angeles to make it in show business. I was an actor, writer and acting teacher. I worked in the Comedy Store and Improv for years, and wrote the play The Biz with George Clooney acting in it. I was a staff writer for the HBO series Kilroy, produced by Clooney and I wrote for the show Charles In Charge. I have worked with Rosemarie Clooney, George Clooney, Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Delta Burke, Angie Dickerson, Kevin Costner, Steven Segal, Barbi Benton, Didi Conn, and McLean Stevenson among others.

I actually got in the rug business when the acting business got slow and I started working in the Swap Meet. I was just trying to make a little money to get me through the month but when I saw what this guy was making selling rugs, I decided I would give this a shot on my own. I kept at it all the time I was still acting. I even sold rugs when I worked on the set to make more money. I showed up at Paramount with my rug truck when I was writing for George Clooney and sold rugs during my lunch break. The passion for selling rugs continued to gain momentum and I began selling on street corners. You might say, I took my show on the road. Then I met a great mentor, Sol. He was an old school guy who was totally self made and he saw something in me that reminded him of himself and although we were 30 years different in age we struck up a strong relationship and he taught me all about seat covers. He owned a sheepskin tannery in South America and was the first to manufacture sheepskin seat covers. I began selling those on street corners.
