WEST HOLLYWOOD — Diners at the iconic Dan Tana’s restaurant are being encouraged to sign a guest book this week in honor of its namesake founder, who has died at age 90.

Dan Tana, born Dobrivoje Tanasijevic, died Aug. 16 in his native Belgrade, Serbia, according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“The great Dan Tana has passed on,” it read. “We all know that he created a very magical place. Our beloved little yellow house will forever feel his presence. This man is a legend, and as you know, a legend never dies.”

The one-time actor turned restaurateur opened Dan Tana’s in 1964 and it quickly became a favorite hangout for generations of actors from John Wayne and Kirk Douglas to Jack Nicholson, Harry Dean Stanton and George Clooney.
