When you have a look at the guest list, you can read :
Ronald Smith 3803 Tintagel
and
Gore Pontoon 912 Zapata Avenue, Beverly Hills.
I doubt there are actual Tintagel (is it King Arthur's forest?) or Zapata Avenue.
I suspect real persons are being depicted, but who are they ? I do not know enough about producers, play-writers and actors of this time.
I would say Gore Vidal for Gore Pontoon, but Ronald Smith ? Why not John Doe ? and why Tintagel ?

hi there.. i must say i adore this crazy film.. and it is so interesting to see the message board too!
very rad that you wrote out the guest list as it appears in the film.. ^^
my family and i have watched it many times.. in fact.. just an hour or so ago my mum and i re-watched it!
so funny.. and so groovy.. the music.. the awesome house.. and for whatever its faults and much ridiculousness..
it has some good humour.. and heart. ❤
ooh and henry mancini's music.. the whole soundtrack is great.. i want this party!
it's rather like being a guest yourself when watching it.. which is a great experience in my opinion. ^^
::::
p.s. i wanted to say.. of course the princess was there!
she was wearing a tiara.. and talking with the hosts' inner-circle of friends all night.
well.. your comment clearly led to my investigation of this anyhow.. hehe! ^^
so.. the quail or whatever was served at dinner.. hrundi managed to fling his up onto her tiara resulting in some comedy of course.
also.. when michele {the french girl} arrives with mr. divot.. they are introduced to her..
{you can actually just hear the words "princess helena"}.
plus.. in the end credits it was confirmed.. the actress is listed as playing "princess helena".
either way.. i was definitely overly-excited to check it out.. as i do enjoy film trivia.. and.. i always assumed she was some kind of princess purely on the basis of her tiara and very formal gown. ^^
i could happily watch this film every year at least.. and i must have a party like it somehow!
anyway :: i really do love this film.
kind regards.. and happy vibes..
:::: love and peace ::::

The complete guest list is as follows:
(Typewritten):
Mr. C. S. Divot 1742 El Chollo Drive (the rest is out of frame)
Miss Michele Monet 43 Rialto Beach Road, Malibu
Congressman & Mrs. L. R. Dunphy 13472 Beaulieu, Brentworth
Mr. Ronald Smith 3803 Tintagel, Beverly Hills
Miss Stella D'Angelo 78 Old Bath Court, Westwood
Mr. Gore Pontoon 912 Zapata Avenue, Beverly Hills
Miss Wiggy Bristol 3216 Willoma Street, Santo Monica
Miss June Warren 629 Brindisi Avenue, Pacific Palisades
Mr. William Keslo 7 Pallas Circle, Thousand Oaks

H. R. H. Princess Helena 9310 Macheath, Los Angeles
Mr. & Mrs. Davey Kane 26100 Dover Hills, Encino
(Handwritten):
Hrundi V. Bakshi
As I have never been to the USA, I have no way of knowing whether these addresses existed or not.
The persons should all have been the names of the characters in the movie.
I suspect the Princess didn't show up.
