In "Let's Explore Hollywood" readers explore this magical city
built on the motion picture and music industry. When the Motion
Picture Patent Company tried to create a monopoly on motion picture
cameras in the early nineteen hundreds, a filmmaker named Harvey
Wilcox headed west. D.W. Griffith led his film crew entourage to
Hollywood because it was too cold and dark in New York City. Cecil
B. DeMille, another filmmaker later joined the journey to L.A.
because during the shooting of his film, The Squaw Man, the
mountains of Arizona became snow covered and interfered with
filming and continuity. Hence the beginning of Hollywood's
illustrious film history. The first movie was shot in Hollywood in
1911, and by 1920, Hollywood had become a boom town and all the
film companies were now making Hollywood the movie production
capital of the world. Hollywood became legendary and has enjoyed a
rich history. Movie stars lived lives in Hollywood that others
could only dream of. Today Hollywood still maintains the mystic
appeal it always has despite the film industry and celebrity
residences now branching out throughout the L.A. area. Hollywood
Blvd., it's famous Walk of Fame, and legendary Chinese Theatre have
immortalized many of the celebrity names and times that built this
magnificent, legendary city and made it what it remains today, a
city of dreams. In "Let's Explore Hollywood" we'll introduce
reader's to all the landmarks and points of interest that make up
Hollywood, including the studio's, celebrity homes, and other
