From the Editor A

lthough you can see splashes of color on some of our trees, fall in Southern California usually means warm weather and Santa Ana winds. It’s also the advent of the holiday season ushered in by Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos populated with pumpkins, goblins and lots of skeletons.

But it is Hollywood after all, and Kathy Flynn takes us on a tour of local movie sites made famous by murder and mayhem, supernatural and otherwise. It seems a day doesn’t go by that we don’t see a movie crew somewhere on our streets. We recently were titillated as director Quentin Terentino set back the clock transforming part of Hollywood back to the 70s to shoot his latest film.

It must be a thrill for students at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy—whose campus is little more than a block off the famed boulevard—to be studying in the midst of a movie set. Talk about immersion! AMDA students come from all over the world, and their classrooms are in an Art Deco tower built in 1929 across the street from another Hollywood icon, Capitol Records. They live in the day-to-day reality that for a lucky few, dreams do come true.

Talk about dreams! The grand dame of historic Hollywood buildings, the Villa Carlotta’s recent transformation has created quite a sensation. The transition was not without angst as longtime tenants had to relocate for the extensive restoration to take place. Keldine Hull’s article tells how the new owners gave the aging structure a new lease on life as a long-term stay boutique hotel.

Don’t miss Why I Love Hollywood by Kate Linder, Hollywood’s sweetheart.

Also, for you statistic junkies, read about the new survey conducted by the Economic Development Committee of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in Oscar’s Hollywood column. It’s hoped that the good news will attract more retail business into the area.

And so we embark on another of Hollywood’s seasons—unpredictable, ever changing, exciting, electric with creativity, growth and new beginnings.

Hollywood Sign Built on Mt. Lee in 1923 for $21,000 as a temporary sign to promote Hollywoodland real estate development, the 50-foot-high letters were made of wood and with 20-watt bulbs around each letter. In the 70s the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spearheaded the campaign to rebuild the sign with support from a diverse group of people (including Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner, rock star Alice Cooper, cowboy Gene Autry and singer Andy Williams) each pledging $27,000 per letter for a new, all-metal landmark. Recently, a global fundraising campaign to preserve 138 acres adjacent to the world-famous sign reached its goal. Hugh Hefner, a key figure in the 1978 restoration effort, donated the last $900,000 of $12.5 million for city to purchase. The land is now part of Griffith Park. www.hollywoodsign.org

Hollywood Horror Film Locations

ollywood, land of sunshine and palm trees. So much glitz and glamour. But there’s a darkness hidden behind even the brightest facade. Did you know that many of your favorite horror film locations are in hidden in plain sight? I’m not talking studio locations,but houses right on the street you might pass every day unaware of their dark and haunted history. Let’s take a look at some of the spookiest horror film locations in Hollywood.

Halloween

The original Halloween is one of the most popular horror films of all time, so it’s a thrill to turn off of Sunset Blvd and find yourself in the middle of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. While the Myers house and many of the other film locations are The Doyle House The Wallace House in South Pasadena, the culmination of the film takes place right on Orange Grove Ave in the heart of Hollywood. The final act of Halloween was shot in two homes. Laurie ( Jamie Lee Curtis) is babysitting at the Doyle house, while the murders take place at the Wallace house across the street. The Doyle house is 1530 and the Wallace house is 1537 N. Orange Grove Ave. The south side of the Wallace has been altered, with a garage replacing the carport, but the front porch, front door and upstairs windows are still instantly recognizable.

Nightmare on Elm Street It’s only a few blocks from Haddonfield to Springwood, Ohio’s Elm Street. Nancy Thompson’s home, haunted by Freddy Krueger, is at 1428 N Genesee, a half block south of Sunset. The house, which was built in 1919, sold for $2.1 million back in 2013. The Lantz house, where Glen ( Johnny Depp) was memorably murdered, is located across the street at 1419 N Genesee.

Scream 2 In Scream 2, the premiere of the film-within-a-film, “Stab”, takes place inside the Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Drive in Los Feliz, where Maureen Evans ( Jada Pinkett-Smith) meets her disturbingly public demise.

Scream 3 Cotton Weary (Liev Schraiber), the main suspect in the original Scream film, figures prominently in the climax of Scream 2. In Scream 3, he’s a talk show host living the good life at West Hollywood’s Harper House, a gorgeous 1929 courtyard apartment. Cotton and his girlfriend Christine are murdered in his apartment, located at 1336 Harper Ave in the Harper Historic District, at the beginning of Scream 3.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Traveling south to Hancock Park, the Hudson mansion from 1962’s Whatever Happened to Baby Jane remains virtually unchanged more than 50 years later. The home is located right where the film says it is, at 172 S McCadden Place. Remarkably, the house across the street and the carport next door, both of which are seen often in the film, are still intact and recognizable as well.

The Ring Traveling south a few blocks, we come to Katie Embry’s house from 2002’s The Ring, at 413 S McCadden Place. While much of the film takes place in the Pacific Northwest, Katie (Amber Tamblyn) is the first to die in the film, having watched the cursed tape 7 days prior. It is her death in this house that puts the plot into motion.

Family Plot Alfred Hitchcock’s later films often used Bay Area locations, so it’s particularly exciting to find a location he used here in town. In his last film, 1976’s Family Plot, Blanche the “psychic”’s modest bungalow at 17 Castle Heights Road is actually 4254 Lexington Ave, at the corner of Lexington and Bates. In what is undoubtedly an intentional nod, the Bates Ave. sign can be clearly seen in the film.

The House on Haunted Hill High above Los Feliz, the Ennis House looms over the neigborhood. Located at 2607 Glendower Ave., the Frank Lloyd Wright designed home was completed by his son, Lloyd Wright, in 1924. The home is the largest of Wright’s textile block designs based on ancient Mayan temples. It has been used many times as a film location. First and foremost, it provides the exterior for William Castle’s 1959 The House on Haunted Hill. William Castle purposely wanted the location for Frederick Loren’s (Vincent Price) mansion not to be your typical haunted house, and the immense stone behemoth makes a powerful and imposing statement. The Ennis House was also Angel’s lair in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, as well as being prominently featured in Blade Runner, Day of the Locust, and many other film and TV shows. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a designated California Historical Landmark.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers Bronson Canyon, in the southwest section of Griffith Park, is one of the most filmed locations in the US. In Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Bronson Cave is the pivotal location where Miles (Kevin McCarthy) kisses Becky (Dana Winters) after hiding from the pods, and realizes she is no longer human. Bronson Canyon has been seen in hundreds of films, starting with 1919’s Lightning Bryce. It has been seen in nearly every 50s horror B-flick, as well as 1933’s The Vampire Bat, 1992’s Army of Darkness, and 2002’s Cabin Fever. It is best known today as the Batcave from the Batman TV series. Nearby, the Beachwood Canyon location, Westshire Drive and the stairs up to Hollyridge Drive, where Miles and Becky are chased by a mob of pod people, still remain.

Another location from Invasion of the Body Snatchers can be found at 4376 Sunset Drive. An early film studio and TV production facility, its brick exterior with distinct, arched brick doorways, has also been seen in several B horror flicks, such as 1942’s Black Dragons, 1943’s Ghost on the Loose, 1944’s Return of the Ape Man, 1954’s Target Earth, and 1960’s The Hypnotic Eye. Thanks to Where Monsters Walked: California Locations of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films, 1925-1965 by Gail Orwig and Raymond Orwig. A fun and interesting read for more information on older films and other locations out of LA. DH

The historic Villa Carlotta needed that...and so much more!

N

estled in the heart of Franklin Village stands the Villa Carlotta, a majestic piece of Hollywood history that only a few years ago was a mere shadow of its former self. Built in 1926, the Villa Carlotta began as only a Hollywood story could. Legendary silent film producer and “Father of the Western” Thomas Ince mysteriously died following a party aboard newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst’s USS Oneida. Rumors circulated attributing Ince’s death to murder by the hands of Hearst himself. Two years later, Hearst helped

evolved into a community that attracted countless people from the entertainment industry. Decades later, CGI purchased the Villa Carlotta and began the challenging task of restoring the nearly century old building. Over the span of 2 years, the Old Hollywood gem, with a history as rich in creativity and diversity as the very city it inhabits, was restored to its former glory.

CGI co- founders Adrian Goldstein and Gidi Cohen were responsible for the decision to begin renovations on the Villa Carlotta. Cohen’s travels to the north of Italy sparked his interest.

“Spending time at the Villa Carlotta in Lake Como had completely inspired me, then a year later the opportunity came up for Villa Carlotta LA,” Cohen explains. “I was drawn to it. I knew this

amazing treasure needed to be polished. It had such great bones. I assembled the dream team, and we got to work.”

For Goldstein, it was at love at first sight. “We immediately fell in love with the building when we saw it,” Goldstein explains. “It’s got a lot of architectural charm. I don’t think we had any clue what we were undertaking. The previous owner had not renewed the lease and basically ran out of cash and resources to repair and renovate the building.

As we went from unit to unit, it was musty, old, and dirty. It had cockroaches running through the walls. The plumbing wasn’t working. The heating wasn’t working.” Despite its flaws, Goldstein and Cohen still saw its potential. “We looked at this and said, ‘Wow, we can fix that!

We could restore this beautiful building and bring it back to the past that it had.’ We hired artists, designers, and architects to assist us.”

The few remaining tentants were informed they had to relocate, and while most accepted the generous buy-out, others were more hesitant to accept change. Former Resident Manager Don Paul, who lived at the Villa Carlotta for 30 years, was hired on as a historical consultant. “You’ve got to be able to change and move with the times.” Paul explains. “This building needed restoration. The rewiring, foundation, plumbing- all the work they did was wonderful. Their attention to keeping things original is to be admired.”

Preservation Architect with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning Lambert Giessinger was responsible for reviewing and approving the plans for the Villa Carlotta. “The staff's role was

to work with the owner and their team to ensure the project design met the preservation standards required by the Cultural Heritage ordinance,” Giessinger explains. “The Villa Carlotta is an iconic cultural monument that had fallen into disrepair. The rehabilitation project was important to reverse the years of neglect.”

Repairing decades of damage was an undertaking filled with challenges but worth the effort. First- priority was given to replacing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Everything from the faucets and drains, to tubs and toilets were either restored or replaced.

“What originally looked like a cosmetic fix ended up being in some places a total gut and repair,” Goldstein explains. “We got into the guts of the building to bring it up to modern day standards. Once we completed that, we set to doing this renovation. We hired people to strip paint off all the cabinetry. Where it was really badly damaged, we LEFT: Awnings by the same company that made them in the 1920s.

brought carpenters to build us matching cabinetry.

We brought in a mold that replicates the molding in the building that we have on the doors. Where some of the door molding was missing, we milled it ourselves. We sanded and refinished all the floors. We took a photograph from the 1920’s, which had some carpeting, to a mill. They milled a carpet with this design and brought the colors from the ceiling in the lobby into the carpet. When the building was originally built, the colors on the ceiling were more vibrant. After nearly a hundred years, the paint has become more muted. Today we have oranges, greens,

hey’ve arrived with little more than their hopes and dreams and a pretty face. Once—long ago—that might have been enough, but not today. Now, thanks to schools such as the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, comprehensive training and education in the performing arts helps prepare young people with the tools necessary to make it in one of the world’s toughest businesses.

Celebrating more than 50 years as one of America's premier conservatories for the performing arts, the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) is recognized for its rich history and tradition of launching successful careers in theatre, film and television. It has provided performing arts education to a diverse community of artists with the opportunity to study and live in New York City or Los Angeles, an extraordinary advantage for emerging performing artists.

Born with a simple but powerful idea: to create a school run by professional performers, for performers, the institution quickly established itself as an integral part of the New York performing arts community. Thriving under the direction of Philip Burton—the actor and instructor best known for helping launch the career of his adopted son, Richard Burton, in the late 1970s, the torch was passed to actor/producer David Martin and his wife, Jan. To this day, the Martins continue to serve as AMDA's Executive and Artistic Directors.

AMDA flourished under the Martins, who developed new programs and hired some of the world's top-performing artists as faculty. The school's growth in the 1970's prompted a move to

or nearly 100 years, they’ve come by the countless thousands to reach for the dream of stardom...

the historic Ansonia Building on Manhattan's the Upper West Side and in the 1990s led to a second building near the Lincoln Center, which is now AMDA New York's principal location.

In 2003, the Martins brought AMDA's success to the golden West Coast, founding a Los Angeles campus in the 1929 Art Deco Yucca Vine Tower. With this groundbreaking move, AMDA became the only Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree-granting performing arts institution with campuses in both New York and Los Angeles. AMDA is now a thriving, fully accredited institution, offering Professional Conservatory and Bachelor of Fine Arts Degrees in Acting, Dance Theatre, Music Theatre and Performing Arts. To accommodate the growing number of students, classes are also held in the five-story facility across Yucca and at the Cosmo Performing Arts Center.

Each year, more than 700 students engage in AMDA's rigorous curricula under the guidance of a faculty of professional artists and instructors at the leading edge of their respective fields. AMDA is committed to nurturing artists who have the skills and drive to launch effective, creative careers that shape the life of our local, national and global communities.

AMDA provides rigorous, performance-based training and an industry-focused education experience. The school's educational philosophy is based on close collegial interaction between instructors and students — in class, in production and through active mentorship.

With a commitment to providing an unsurpassed performing arts education to a diverse community of creative artists,

“AMDA’s mission is to teach deep craft in acting, singing, and dancing… To give our graduates the tools to function on a very high level within the art and within the profession.” —David Martin, AMDA President and Artistic Director AMDA serves as both school and stage. Students are given the support and opportunity to define their own personal objectives and to develop and refine their own distinctive artistic voices.

However, success requires more than just talent. From the moment students arrive, they are trained to graduate as a professional ready to work in today's competitive industry. With over 150 opportunities to perform each year, students receive worldclass training while living in the beating heart of the world's entertainment capital: Hollywood. There are four student productions each semester: two plays and a dance and music theatre production presented either at the Cosmo’s 180-seat theatre or the 100 seat theatre in the tower.

Each September and October, AMDA conducts annual

National Audition Tours for admission in 38 cities throughout the U.S. Auditions are also held in South America, Australia, Europe and Canada. A rigorous audition includes prepared monologues, and voice and dance performance. Only a third of the applicants are accepted. With aspiring students from all 50 states and over 100 countries, the student body is diverse and lifelong relationships are forged. To support economic diversity, the school offers over $10 million of scholarship awards each

year. Individual awards ranged from $1,000 to $18,000. Scholarships are awarded based on talent, merit, academic excellence and financial need.

Centrally located steps from the Walk of Fame and worldfamed intersection of Hollywood and Vine, AMDA strives to create an environment for students to develop the skills, confidence, imagination, and power to contribute to their community as artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Freshmen are housed in dorms hidden behind the main building. Converted 1930s era apartments and a former bungalow court house two to four students in each kitchen-equipped unit. Three other housing facilities for older students are located nearby. Security and a shuttle service is provided between the academy and residences.

Under the watchful eyes of the Martins, students, mostly direct from high school and far from home, receive a level of care with every student treated like a family member as they acclimate to the rigorous schedule and friendly competition from their talented peers. In addition to classes in acting, music and dance, students participate in “combat” training such as sword fighting. If students want extra rehearsal time, classroom space is provided along with a piano accompanist if necessary (over 25 accompanists are available). Each day students are immersed in a rigorous and demanding pursuit of excellence, giving them the knowledge and skill set that will last a lifetime. To help students financially, the academy offers 100 paid student jobs.

All aspects of performance are taught at AMDA, including A future in the drama, comedy, dance and even stage fighting.... performing arts doesn't have to be a dream. For over 50 years, AMDA has launched some of the most successful careers in theatre, film and television.

Watched by the eyes of millions, its graduates occupy the world's stages, film sets and movie screens. DH FALL 2018 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 29

yellows, and blues that are very subtle. It Continued fromof page 29 look.” has the patina an aged Just as much care and attention was given to the outside of the building.

“When the building was originally built, it had awnings and curtains on the outside. You couldn’t do curtains on the outside of the building today because of fire hazards, but we wanted to restore the awnings. The company that put them on in the 1920’s is called the Van Nuys Awning Company, and they’re still in business in the same location. We used them to create awnings for the exterior.

We added some lighting, which they didn’t have in the 1920’s. It showcases the exterior really nicely at night.”

Christos Prevezanos, Principal and Founder of Studio Preveza, was the designer behind specially created furniture made to fit the style of the 1920’s. Prevezanos explains, “The most challenging aspect was to be true to the building and honoring its heritage without making it feel too nostalgic and Disneyfied. The Villa Carlotta has such a strong personality, and it was nice to have that foundation to build upon.”

Two years after the start of its remarkable transformation, the Villa Carlotta offers a rare glimpse into the glamorous past of Old Hollywood, offering its residents a trip back in time with its architecture, design, smells, and sounds. From the hand- painted details to the vintage artwork in each room, every square inch is a testament to the work that went into a restoration that has honored its history and beauty.

Building Manager Brian McGrory is responsible for making guests feel at home.

“I want residents to feel a part of something. This is not just a regular service apartment building; it’s an experience. I want them to feel like this is their home away from home. It’s nice that they’re here for a while; we get to know them, have a coffee with them in the morning, and maybe a glass of wine at night.”

With years of experience in the hospitality industry, McGrory explains the significance of places like the Villa Carlotta.

“People genuinely connect with this place.

It’s a unique building factually drenched with Hollywood history. There was a time before when developers would tear down buildings because it was easier for them to build a high rise. To have this restored and have this on your doorstep enhances the community. It brings so much culture and history and creates beauty, depth and layers. Being a member of the community here, to have this is phenomenal.”

On October 19, 2018, the California Preservation Foundation will be reward-

ing the Villa Carlotta with the prestigious 2018 Preservation Design Award. Goldstein is honored that efforts towards restoring such a vital part of California history has not gone unnoticed. “It’s really special. To be recognized by this organization is beyond our dreams. We’re very proud. It’s really been a labor of love. For some people, you can step back in time and feel a connection to Hollywood’s past.

We have artists and actors from all over the world that have stayed with us, and the story continues.” DH FALL 2018 // DISCOVER DISCOVERHOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD39 39

Why I Love Hollywood

Discover Hollywood Special Report

by Kate Linder

A

s a California native, Hollywood has always held a special place in my heart. I always wanted to be an actress and fortunately, my family was very supportive.

My parents gave me dance and piano lessons and they never missed a single performance, they saw every play I was ever in from the tiniest role to the lead.

I grew up looking at the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and never allowed myself to dream that it would ever happen for me. Every single day, an endless stream of people arrive in Hollywood from all over the world, each hoping to make their own dreams come true. It's Hollywood, anything can happen. Almost everywhere one can venture on this earth, people know Hollywood. It's called the Dream Factory because it is and it maintains an almost mythological status on this planet.

Over 36 years ago, I said my first line on The Young and the Restless, the #1 rated soap opera, and I'm delighted to have found a home there ever since. I have been fortunate to perform in many films along the way as well. My response has been to do as much work with charities as possible to give back for all of the gifts that a career in Hollywood has given to me because it is not only my duty, it is my privilege. The day that the late and beloved Johnny Grant called to tell me that I was going to be receiving a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was profoundly meaningful to me and it still seems surreal. I have learned that through hard work, constant study, never giving up and yes, a sprinkling of Hollywood stardust, dreams really can come true. This is why I love Hollywood! DH

Fall Reading The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece is a complete retelling of how The Wizard of Oz was influenced and created and attained its iconic status. The new volume by Jay Scarfone and William Stillman reflects recent research and much more through newly discovered period interviews, media resources of the era, transcriptions and unique contemporary interviews with those who were there. Additionally, never-beforepublished imagery accompanies the text. In its truth and candor, this new historical contribution is ideal to tie-in with the 2018-19 80th anniversary of the 1939 movie.

Poised, cultured and unforgettable, Grace Kelly had the aura of a princess even before she was crowned. She exuded grace, polish, flair and serenity as a fashion icon, actor and humanitarian. Living with Grace is a captivating look at this elegant woman who has been an inspiration for many and whose legacy enlightened a new generation of fans. Seldom seen photos and outtakes are complemented by inspiriting quotes from ad about Grace and the famous roles she played.

These words and images highlight what made her so iconic on film and in life.

Written by Hollywood’s own Mary Mallory, a motion picture historian and author of Hollywoodland, Hollywood at Play and A Little Barn Started It All: The History of Hollywood Heritage’s Lasky DeMille Barn.

Actor training programs frequently focus on performance skills, but not the underlying mental attitudes that can sustain healthy and long-lasting careers in theatre, film and television.

Actor for Life: How to Have An Amazing Career Without All the Drama by acting professor Connie de Veer and master coach and teacher Jan Elfline offers fresh, accessible insights and exercises for actors to create lives that support their acting work. Instead of providing lessons on acting technique or know-how on the business of “the biz,” Actor for Life spreads the positive philosophy that how we think is a powerful engine that either supports or undermines an actor’s success.

Emphasizing the need to nourish the mental and emotional needs of actors, deVeer and Elfline teach readers how to develop resilience, motivation and courage.

Conf idential Conf idential: The Inside Story of Hollywood’s Notorious Scandal Magazine is a painstakingly researched history of America’s first gossip magazine, by Samantha Barbas. The controversial scandal magazine was, without a doubt, the forerunner of today’s titillating headlines and celebrity gossip exposes. In the 1950s American culture revered celebrities as exemplary citizens with high morals, Conf idential challenged that notion with each issue and managed to tarnish Hollywood stars’ well-constructed images by publishing raunchy and brazen stories of their misdeeds and transgressions. Readers will learn how Conf idential gained its notorious reputation and how it forever altered American culture, law and journalism.

Billy Wilkerson was the most powerful man in Hollywood during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. He was the owner and publisher of the Hollywood Reporter, the film industry newspaper that became known as “Hollywood’s bible.” He built the Café Trocadero and other legendary nightspots on the famed Sunset Strip. In 30 years as Tinseltown’s premier behind-thescenes mover and shaker, Wilkerson introduced Clark Gable and Lana Turner to the world, brought the Mafia to Hollywood, engineered the shakedown of Hollywood studios by mob-run unions, helped invent Las Vegas, tangled with Bugsy Siegel (and possibly was involved with his murder), initiated the Hollywood blacklist and conspired to cripple the studio system. W.R. Wilkerson III, Wilkerson’s son, has done painstaking research on his father, interviewing everyone from allies and partners to employees and enemies. In Hollywood Godfather, he takes an honest look at his father’s legacy and is not afraid to reflect on his actions with a critical eye. DH

ollywood is “Innovative and Hip”; “Unique”; “Cool”; “Fun”; “Entertaining”; “Iconic”; “Center of the Action”; “Exciting”—These are a few words describing today’s Hollywood from the residents, workers and visitor respondents to the Hollywood Survey that was commissioned by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and conducted by Renegade Marketing recently.

As the economic revitalization of Hollywood continues to gain steam, the survey was designed to help all stakeholders better understand what Hollywood is today; what drives attitudes and behavior and identify challenges and opportunities that the community can work together to address.

The survey confirms that Hollywood is an iconic and exciting place. The findings reveal an ever-changing, more diverse and extremely passionate community that many people care deeply about.

The community of Hollywood today is a place where residents are affluent, more likely to use public or alternate transportation, frequent the area’s multiple cultural and dining options, and often use home as a primary or secondary office. The survey shows that people here want more options to shop locally and with an average annual income of $104,000 have ample resources.

In short, what many of us have believed has been confirmed. Hollywood is def-

initely on the move and the “center of the action.” It’s hoped that the survey will be used to attract businesses that will serve Hollywood’s residents better and, hopefully, also provide visitors more options to spend while here.

Statistics show that the largest demographic is between 35-49, well educated with 77% having a college degree. Older residents reside in the Hollywood Hills, while a younger population has gravitated to the central core. We are consumers of arts and culture 43% go to movies; 32% attend music concerts and 32% take advantage of the local live theatre scene.

While Hollywood maintains its position as a tourism draw, residents find its rich history and iconic landmarks imbue it with a distinct character and flavor, a complex blend of old and new that enhances its appeal as a place to live and work.

Designed to provide the Chamber with information to identify attitudes and behavior in the community of Hollywood, Renegade Marketing used two focus groups, 50 person-on-the-street interviews and 1,659 online responses from residents, workers and visitors to create its conclusions. To read the results of the fascinating survey, visit the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. DH

Rescore Hollywood is proud to invest in the revitalization of Hollywood. The RISE project, just south of Hollywood Boulevard, will bring more than 360 apartment units and commercial space to Hollywood.
