Hollywood Destination Overview
|
Reaching
out above the town of Hollywood itself is the well known Hollywood sign
high on a hill at the end of Beachwood Drive. The 50 foot high letters used to
spell out 'Hollywoodland'. The original sign was placed in 1923 as an
advertisement for a proposed housing development that was never built. Finally,
in 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce arranged to repair the deteriorating
sign and to remove the last four letters. The site is now protected by high
tech infrared cameras with radar-activated zoom lenses.
Hollywood
is part of the city of Los Angeles, and is situated northwest of the downtown
district. Hollywood's southern border follows Melrose Avenue from Vermont Avenue
west to La Brea Avenue. From there the boundary continues north on La Brea,
wrapping west around the city of West Hollywood along Fountain Avenue before
turning north again on Laurel Canyon Boulevard into the Hollywood Hills. The
eastern boundary follows Vermont Avenue north from Melrose past Hollywood
Boulevard to Franklin Avenue. From there the border goes west along Franklin to
Western Avenue, and then north on Western into Griffith Park.
Most of the hills
between Laurel Canyon and Griffith Park are part of Hollywood. Many of
the old landmarks still stand. The intersection of Hollywood and Vine was
supposedly the spot were many future stars were 'discovered.' Close by is the
Capitol Records Building, which looks like a stack of 45 records on a turntable. Many big name artists of the 1950s and 1960s recorded on the Capitol label, and
a large mural pays tribute to some of them.
Further along Hollywood Boulevard
is Hollywood's most famous and popular attraction: Mann's Chinese Theatre. It was
here that the tradition of immortalizing movie stars' foot and handprints in
cement began. This was supposed to have started when actress Norma Talmadge
accidentally stepped on the wet concrete of the construction site. The Hollywood
Walk of Fame, with the names of many show business and movie notables set in the
sidewalk is close by. The Hollywood Forever Memorial Gardens provided the final
resting place for many of Hollywood’s stars.
The mausoleum of Rudolph
Valentino and the shrine of Douglas Fairbanks Senior are often photographed. At
present, much of the movie industry has relocated in surrounding areas such as
Burbank and the Westside of Los Angeles, but businesses such as editing,
effects, props, post-production, and lighting remain in Hollywood. In 1900,
Hollywood had a population of 500 people. Los Angeles, with a population of
100,000, lay was seven miles east, separated from Hollywood by miles of lemon
groves
Hollywood
was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. Herds of cattle of more than 200
were banned from its dusty dirt streets.
In 1904 it was annexed to Los Angeles
and a trolley line was laid to connect the two via newly named Hollywood
Boulevard. In the
early 1900s, motion picture production was dependent on outdoor light and
sunshine. As improvements were made to roads, companies from New York and New
Jersey started moving to California because of the reliable weather, longer
days, and magnificent scenery. The first
movie studio in the Hollywood area, Nestor Studios, was founded in 1911 by Al
Christie for David Horsley in an old building on the southeast corner of Sunset
Boulevard and Gower Street. In the same year, another fifteen Independents
settled in Hollywood.
They were followed by hundreds of others. In
1913, Cecil B. DeMille, in association with Jesse Lasky, leased a barn with
studio facilities on the southeast corner of Selma and Vine Streets which is
currently the location of the Hollywood Heritage Museum. The
Charlie Chaplin Studio, on the northeast corner of La Brea and De Longpre
Avenues just south of Sunset Boulevard, was built in 1917. The first
Academy Awards presentation ceremony took place on May 16, 1929 during a banquet
held in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard.
Tickets were
$10.00, and there were 250 people in attendance. In 1927,
the era of silent movies ended. From that year until the late 1940s, the Golden
Age of Hollywood reigned. The 1950s saw the arrival of television years and
movie studios began to produce for TV. The
Hollywood Walk of Fame was created in 1958 and the first star was placed in 1960
as a tribute to artists working in the entertainment industry.
In 1985,
the Hollywood Boulevard commercial and entertainment district was officially
listed in the National Register of Historic Places protecting important
buildings and seeing to it that the significance of Hollywood's past would
always be a part of its future. Within the
past six years, the Hollywood extension of the Metro Red Line subway opened,
running from downtown Los Angeles to the Valley, with stops on Hollywood
Boulevard at Western Avenue, at Vine Street and at Highland Avenue. The Kodak
Theatre, which opened in 2001 on Hollywood Boulevard at Highland Avenue, where
the historic Hollywood Hotel once stood, has become the new home of the Oscars. Modern day
Hollywood is a diverse, vital, and active community working to preserve its
past. Millions of people from all over the world still make a pilgrimage to
Hollywood and experience nostalgia for that bygone, magical era of moviemaking
and stardom.
