FALL 2014 Publisher Oscar Arslanian Editor Nyla Arslanian

W

hat is it about fall that makes it such a delightful time of the year? New beginnings as a new school year is launched, or the fun of creating a costume and all that goes into making Halloween a zany occasion and not scary even with all the ghosts and goblins. Maybe what makes fall so special is anticipation—a new teacher, a fun and silly night out or time to be spent with family, friends and turkey as we give thanks.

As seasons come and go, there’s really never a dull day in Hollywood. As summer ends, we notice fewer visitors to our famous town, but the slight lull gives us time to prepare for other festivities—West Hollywood’s Halloween extravaganza or the annual Dia De Las Muertos. Soon we’ll realize the year is ending as our community prepares for the Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Liberally sprinkled over the autumn months are star ceremonies, film premieres, fundraisers and conventions. These days all roads lead to Hollywood.

The year began with the much anticipated opening of Emerson College. Although the prestigious East Coast based institution has had a presence in LA for over 25 years, its arrival in Hollywood has caused quite a stir. Students come for the industry experience and connections but it’s the architectural marvel that really wows them. Shauna McClure gives us an inside look to compliment photographer Anthony Nelson’s exciting cover shot.

But if you still have a yearning for ghosts and goblins, you’ll get plenty in Michael Goldstein’s article on Hollywood haunts. He and famed medium Patti Negri took a tour of to find as many unworldly spirits as possible and found plenty.

Talk about unworldly. It’s WHAM, BANG, POW as Karen Yin explores Hollywood’s fascination with superheroes. With Warner Bros. Batman exhibit and Madame Tussauds new 4D attraction plus an industry that can’t seem to get enough, you’ll want to join in the fun or get ideas for a Halloween costume.

We’ll have just enough time to take a breather before the “holidaze” is upon us.

In the 70’s 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 fund raising campaign to preserve 138 acres adjacent to the world-famous sign reached its goal. Hugh Hefner, a key figure in the 1978 restoration effort, returned in 2010 to donate the last $900,000 of $12.5 million needed to purchase the land, which will be annexed to Griffith Park.

uperheroes:

Two new Hollywood attractions where you can get your geek on

By Karen Yin

uperheroes, everywhere. Caped or otherwise, crusaders born of comic-book lore have overtaken pop culture in every form.

Screen Rant, a movie-news website, counts over forty DC and Marvel films slated for release by 2020, including Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Zack Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). Gotham, Flash, and Constantine are hitting television airwaves now or soon.

And it isn’t just film and television that have combusted with superhero adoration: upwards of 130,000 people alighted on San Diego for Comic-Con in July, a month that also saw multiple records set for comics sales, according to industry number-cruncher Comichron.

Doing their part to sate the demand, two Hollywood institutions have new attractions catering to superhero-lovers: Warner Bros. Studios and Madame Tussauds Hollywood.

16 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2014

The Batman Exhibit Warner Bros. VIP Studio Tour, Burbank Fans will love this rare look at all seven films featuring the world’s most famous superhero without superpowers, Batman. A temporary installation extended through 2014, e Batman Exhibit is included in Warner Bros. Studios’ VIP Studio Tour. It is part of Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment’s yearlong celebration of Batman’s seventy-fifth anniversary.

Senior tour guide Brad Taylor filled us up on trivia about the 110-acre studio lot for much of the two-hour-plus tour, with a lot of humor thrown in. One of the highlights was the spontaneous dance-off between Brad and another guide, who threw themselves into a reenactment of a Pepsi commercial shot on the same spot.

LEFT: Tour guide shows array of Batman cowls worn in films.

ABOVE RIGHT: 75 years of Batman comics, TV and movies on display

Each tour is tailored to current guests’ interests—in our group, it was Pretty Little Liars. Just hearing about a few of Warner Bros.’ achievements in film, television, animation, interactive entertainment, and home entertainment was mindblowing. For example, the lot boasts the biggest costume department in Hollywood, with nine miles of costumes.

Bugs Bunny was born in the animation building, as was his rival Daffy Duck. Hiding on the back lot is part of Bon Temps from True Blood. And from the tram, you can see locations from Batman films, like the Hall of Records where Penguin learned of his parents’ identities.

On the first floor of the Warner Bros. Museum, a wall of fifteen cowls with built-in scowls—worn by Batmans from Michael Keaton to Christian Bale—set the tone for e Batman Exhibit. (e Harry Potter exhibit is upstairs.) On display are six Batsuits plus costumes worn by Robin,

Catwoman, e Joker, Batgirl, e Riddler, and Poison Ivy. e newest additions are the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics, no. 27, with Batman’s first appearance, and the premiere issue of Batman, launched a year later. Worth a cool $3 million combined, these issues are believed to have once belonged to Bob Kane, the artist who created “e Batman” along with Bill Finger.

You can also examine concept art, models, gadgets, and other props from the seven Batman films, including Batarangs, Joker’s cards, and Penguin’s umbrella.

“People come from all over the world,” said Brad. “Both men and women love it. Little kids go nuts, grandparents go nuts. I’ve had people propose in front of the Batman statue. ere really is an emotional tie to the property.”

On the awesomeness scale, nothing beats the Batcave, aka the Picture Car Vault, an immense sound stage where FALL 2014 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 17

legendary Bat vehicles have been brought together. It’s an extraordinary chance to check out the Batmobiles, Tumbler, and Batgirl’s Batblade in person. “e Batmobile is what makes them freak out the most,” said Brad of fanboys and fangirls. “When they find out they’re real cars, that really brings it home.

Every kid has a fantasy of driving a Batmobile.”

Back at the tour center, don’t miss the newly acquired cowl exhibit unveiled at ComicCon, featuring Ben Affleck’s cowl in the 2016 film. Brad confirmed that items from Gotham and Batman v. Superman will be added to the museum, saying, “I wouldn’t be surprised if something happens this Halloween.”

Marvel Super Heroes 4D Madame Tussauds Hollywood

Out-of-towners and locals come to Madame Tussauds Hollywood to be transported to a different time, a different place. e new Marvel Super Heroes 4D theater expansion is a multi-million-dollar collaboration with Marvel. In addition to the interactive area with wax figures, this attraction features a ten-minute animation which pits Marvel superheroes against a common villain. e advanced 4D technology transforms the film into an immersive and multisensory experience.

A proper Madame Tussauds experience starts on the third floor and lets you wind your way through the themed rooms at your leisure. Whether you’re into Marvel superheroes, old Hollywood, pop icons, or Star Trek, your fancy will be tickled. ere are no velvet ropes to keep you from putting your head on Conan O’Brien’s lap—his wax replica, that is. ough the faces and hands are off-limits because of the delicate nature of wax, the staff encourages physical interaction with the 120 figures in-house. So go ahead and grab Brad’s butt even though Angelina is, like, standing right there. (When Lisa Huynh—marketing events coordinator for Madame Tussauds Hollywood—was asked if people try to kiss the wax figures, she said, “All the time. Especially Justin Bieber.”) ese uncannily accurate wax-and-fiberglass figures take four to six months to create and cost $300,000 each. Every freckle, mole, wrinkle, dimple, and tattoo is meticulously reproduced; every hair and eyelash inserted by hand. Don’t be surprised if you apologize as you step around them: they’re so realistic. Credit goes to the skilled Tussauds artists in London who sculpt, mold, create, color, and costume wax figures for all Madame Tussauds locations. e striking realness of the wax figures makes it that much more poignant to see so many

18 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2014

celebrities who have passed, including Robin Williams and Joan Rivers.

A lot of thought goes into every detail of the set design, costuming, and poses to create an emotional impact, often capturing a scene from a celebrated performance; other times, celebrities are presented in their natural glamorous habitats. Footprints indicate where to hit your mark for the best photos, and you are encouraged to ham it up with hats, jackets, canes, and the other accessories.

Before the Marvel 4D theater experience, you can interact with most of its stars in the Marvel Super Heroes room: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, or, Tony Stark, and Iron Man. In wax form, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is as fierce as ever; you can almost hear the snikt of his claws. If you’re curious, step behind Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark to see what’s on his screen. For Chris Hemsworth’s or, Madame Tussauds worked with Marvel and the costume designers from the movie to design the outfit—an example of the never-ending quest for authenticity.

“For our Marvel 4D grand-opening party, a lot of people came in their Marvel shirts, Captain America shirts, Spider-Man shirts,” said Lisa. “It’s being able to see their superheroes in real life, almost. Being able to take that picture and say, ‘Oh, I met Wolverine today.’ Bringing the screen to life. at’s what we have to offer that’s unique.”

FALL 2014 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 33

Haunted Hollywood H

ollywood movies are increasingly shot digitally, not on celluloid, but it’s still true: movie stars never really die. A quick walk around Hollywood turned up five street images and an impersonator of Charlie Chaplin.

With the power of its images, it’s no wonder that Hollywood is said to be haunted by the ghosts, spirits and energies of the stars and wanna-bes. In 1932, aspiring actress Peg Entwistle died after hurling herself off the “H” of the “HOLLYWOOD” sign. Ever since, rangers and hikers say they’ve seen a woman smelling of gardenias, smartly dressed in 1930’s style.

And with Hollywood’s love of both costumes and the macabre, it’s no wonder that Halloween is one of its biggest holidays.

To help get in the spirit, Discover Hollywood took a pre-Halloween tour with renowned psychic and medium Patti Negri, recently voted number one psychic in the United States. Negri has had many encounters with local spirits. Even after their death, she says, stars still make a big impression. “Big in life is also big in death.”

For our journey to Hollywood’s other side, Negri dressed in a stylish all-black outfit. She brought along her tools of the trade: a pair of traditional dowsing rods, an electronic “Ghost Meter” and a smartphone with Ghost Radar. “Spirits love electronics,” Negri notes. “Electricity is so easy for them.”

The First Lady of ghostbusting,Patti Negri.

34 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2014

Our first stop was the American Legion Post at 2035 N. Highland Avenue. Its 95-year history makes it a powerful site for potential hauntings. Opened after World War I, celebrity members and guests included Humphrey Bogart, Mickey Rooney, Charlton Heston, Clark Gable, Red Buttons, Aldo Ray and Ronald Reagan.

Its bar figures in two of the Legion’s best known haunting stories. In the 1940’s, three stools at the end of the bar belonged to Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, a World War I Navy vet, and Clark Gable, an Army Air Force lieutenant. At the dark basement bar, there were “no paparazzi” to bother them, noted the Post’s longtime manager, Terry Duddy. Gable’s habit of cutting grooves in the bar with his pocket knife was even tolerated.

Accused of Communist sympathies by many (including the American Legion) Chaplin left Hollywood in 1952. By the time he returned twenty years later to accept an honorary Academy Award, his celebrity drinking buddies were dead.

Patti sat on Chaplin’s stool and felt an angry energy, as if he was irritated at being pulled away from his friends. “I think he likes to hang there; it really hurt him to be kicked out,” said Patti. e Post’s most reported ghost was a comic character. Marshall Wyatt was a long-time doorman at the Brown Derby and a beloved bartender at the Post. In his 90th year, he won the pot at a poker game and was carrying his winnings upstairs when he fell, never regaining consciousness. As Patti notes, “A lot of the hauntings are vestigial energies; something strong happened and the energy stays.”

It wasn’t long before Marshall’s ghost started appearing at the pool table and startling grips and electricians at film shoots. Marshall, a friendly ghost, offers to help the Hollywood techs move their equipment—then vanishes into thin air. e Post is rarely open to the public, but its legends and ghosts are on display this Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2014, when the building will be open to the public.

Another popular spot for filming—and apparently for ghosts— is the Hollywood Athletic Club, at 6525 W. Sunset Boulevard. e building is now used mostly for movie shoots and events, but in its heyday it boasted wild parties and members like Rudolf Valentino and buff Naked Prey star Cornel Wilde—both immortalized in a mirror at the Club. “e Hollywood Athletic Club is one of my top five Hollywood haunts,” Negri said. “It was frequented by the likes of Douglas Fair-

“

banks, Johnny Weismuller and Charlie Chaplin and was home away from home for Hollywood’s royalty of the Golden Age. From the moment I walked in the beautiful old building I could feel the place was alive with spirits. I brought my most basic of ghost hunting tools and they immediately starting speaking, sparking, flashing and making themselves known to us. ey are good spirits. Hollywood spirits—ready to show themselves and have a good time.”

Always open to the public, and apparently to a legion of spirits as well, is the venerable Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. Its Blossom Ballroom was the site of the first Acad-

Awards presentation, held in 1929.

Patti found t h e R o o s e v e l t ’s ballroom full of happy energy, although s h e noted,

“I’ve seen a spirit walk on that walkway.” She used her dowsing rod and found spots at the ballroom where she felt celebration and joy. at’s a big contrast to her experience at the Roosevelt several years ago, when a television show paid for her to stay in Room 928.

Negri brought along a trumpet. One muffled blast was enough to summon forth the ghost of an older, protective man, followed by the shy spirit of departed actor Montgomery Clift. e troubled Clift had stayed in the room for several months while preparing for his role as an Army trumpeter in the 1953 classic, From Here to Eternity.

Marilyn Monroe, also known for her troubled life, is closely associated with the Roosevelt as well. Starlets hung around the hotel pool, and Marilyn posed for her first print ad—a toothpaste spot— on the diving board. As Monroe’s career took off, she often stayed in a second floor cabana at the Roosevelt overlooking the pool. At her request, the hotel provided Marilyn a tall, dark wood framed full-length mirror, which—after her death—was moved to the manager’s office. A hotel maid was dusting the mirror and saw the reflection of a sad-looking blonde woman. e maid turned to ask if she could help, but there was no one there.

Strolling down Hollywood Boulevard from the Roosevelt brought us by the El Capitan eatre, now Disney’s showplace for family films like Frozen. We asked an older usher if he’d felt anything paranormal. “All theaters have something. But we’re not allowed to talk about it,” he winked. Indeed, another Hollywood FALL 2014 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 35

theatre, the Pantages, was owned by Howard Hughes, whose workaholic ghost is said to haunt his old second floor office. During a restoration of the theatre, a man was seen walking along the scaffolding to inspect the work, before vanishing.

Our tour took in many historic buildings, like e Outpost Building, 6715 Hollywood Boulevard, which The images of past stars live on everywhere in Hollywood.

Do their spirits carry on as well? has a very Raymond Chandler-like vibe; Negri felt a defiant Italian spirit, like a gangster who wanted to be big. e nearby Lido Apts. at 6500 Yucca are known for the lobby's appearance on the cover of the Eagles' Hotel California album. Building workers wouldn’t discuss it, but e Lido was also the site of the murder of actor Victor Kilian, said to be the ghost at the nearby Chinese eatre.

ere’s much more to see in haunted Hollywood. A house on Camino Palmero is supposedly haunted by former owner Ozzie Nelson of Ozzie and Harriet fame. His ghost is said to turn on and off the faucets and flick through the channels searching for his old show. ere’s the Yamashiro Restaurant high above Hollywood, haunted by a bartender and a crying bride, and the Hollywood Tower, the inspiration for Disneyland's Tower of Terror, where a man in 1930’s clothing reportedly stands on the seventh floor staring at the Hollywood Hills.

If you plan your own haunted Hollywood tour, psychic Negri says “Feel for the difference, feel for the energies. They’re everywhere.” DH

Michael Goldstein is a Los Angeles journalist, playwright and executive media trainer. His story Blood Money won 1st place in the Investigative category at the 2014 Southern California Journalism Awards. Now working on a young adult novel, he has been fascinated by Hollywood ghosts since first writing about them for the National Enquirer.

EMERSON COLLEGE Hollywood’s Newest Architectural Gem

S

unset Boulevard has a new star, architecturally speaking, in the guise of Emerson College. e West Coast outpost of the Boston-based communications and arts school, the Emerson Los Angeles (ELA) building was designed by Pritzker Prize winner om Mayne and it is a star in its own right. e complex, on both sides of Sunset, demands the attention of passersby. From a single base, two separate towers provide the dormitory space for college students – primarily juniors and seniors – who come to Hollywood for coursework and an internship in “the industry”. e administrative offices, classrooms and other facilities have breathtaking views of the Hollywood sign, and throughout the site there are outdoor spaces that can be used for screenings and performances. Also on site is state-of-the-art audio and video mixing and editing studios, performance studios, and a café open to the public. e dormitory housing has space for 215 students each semester. “is building is a big part of our commitment to our students and the Hollywood community,” said Kevin Bright, founding director of Emerson Los Angeles. Bright said the center gives Emerson a true permanent home in Hollywood, adding that more than one third of their graduates end up making Los Angeles their home.

Emerson Los Angeles has been offering students internships in Los Angeles for almost thirty years; in previous years the program operated out of rented classroom space in Burbank. “We’re the original out here,” said Bright, “We have a long history of making connections for our students.” Emerson was the first college outside California to start an official semester-inHollywood program. e success of the program over the past decades has spurred other schools to launch similar programs, and Bright is quick to point out that the $100 million investment distinguishes ELA from other schools by making a statement that Emerson is committed to the success of Hollywood, the City of Los Angeles and the entertainment industry.

“We are the first to put our shovels in the ground,” said Bright. “is space offers our students a sense of community, and also provides them with a larger context of their obligation to the community.” Bright, an Emerson alumnus whose own roots are in television – he is one of the Photo: Anthony Nelson 38 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2014

original executive producers behind the Emmy Award–winning television series “Friends” – is keenly aware of the importance of setting students up for the next step. After years of grueling hours and back-to-back shows, Bright made a conscious decision to do something different. Already on the board of trustees of Emerson, he was approached to teach a semester in Boston. “I loved being in the classroom. I was able to impart real world experience – give an idea of what it’s like to work under intense pressure and deal with a lot of people and information coming at you all at once.”

One semester turned into seven years in Boston, which in turn, led to Bright at the helm of the sparkling aluminum-clad edifice. Bright acknowledged that ABOVE: Kevin Bright, founding director of Emerson Los Angeles. the complex is a big financial commitment from Emerson. “We’re very fortunate to have a board of trustees that saw the opportunity, got excited, and wanted to make it happen,” Bright said. With more than 4,000 alumni in the Los Angeles area, Bright remarked, there is also more opportunity for alumni to connect or renew connections with the school and be involved in a more direct way with the internship program. e list of Emersonians who have made their mark on the entertainment industry is both extensive and impressive and includes names like Norman Lear, Jay Leno, Henry Winkler and Denis Leary and makeup mogul Bobbi Brown just to name a few. Many of the College’s 28,000 alumni remain active participants in the life of Emerson. “With this space, we have vastly increased networking opportunities for our students and alumni because we have a building to invite people to.” e new campus also reflects a growing interest in entertainment-related careers from college students across the nation. As ELA grows Bright said a large part of the goal is continuing to provide top-quality professional internships to students, and excellent interns to a wide variety of television and film stu- ABOVE: Facing the famed Hollywood sign, classrooms are light, airy and inspiring. dios, radio and media outlets, publicity, production and music companies and related industries. e program is rigorous; students go to their internship assignments during the day and attend classes at night. Bright also emphasized the role of ELA students in the community as they strive to create a culture of service. Along with the new facility comes a responsibility to encourage civic engagement and volunteerism. “Giving back is one of the greatest facilitators of networking,” remarked Bright. “In addition to it simply being the right thing to do, this aspect of our program also gives students the opportunity to volunteer with alumni and other potential mentors.” Community service is integrated into the program. e students work with organizations like Heal the Bay, Chrysalis, Project Angel Food, Urban Possibilities and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. ELA hopes to build a culture of service that helps stu- ABOVE: Theatre classroom—in Hollywood it’s all about the moving image. dents integrate LEFT: : Architect Thom Mayne’s incomparable design graces its Sunset Blvd. location. fully into their new community, and connect with potential community leaders in the urban environment of Los Angeles. e new location is already yielding success stories. A recent Emerson grad who is working as an internship coordinator at ELA has been named a finalist as a writer in a prestigious nationwide competition, and ELA’s presence in Hollywood will help ensure that the arts and creative industries continue to play a starring role in the vibrancy and economic success of the community. Hollywood is and always had been a place where dreams come true. DH

Discover Hollywood Special Report

by Oscar Arslanian, Publisher

Oscar’s Hollywood

I

f you want to be successful at anything, identify what’s missing and then provide it! Essentially, that’s why you have this magazine in your hands.

Thirty years ago, I put together a small group of Hollywood stalwarts who thought, as I did, that the Hollywood name was gold and the millions of visitors we were getting should could spend more time here than 15 or 20 minutes checking out the handprints and footprints at the Chinese Theatre.

We conducted a month long series of surveys on Hollywood Boulevard and 98% of those we interviewed said they had no idea what was here. What was missing was information. So, I decided to provide information to residents and visitors about the unique culture and lore of Hollywood in the form of Discover Hollywood Magazine. Today, our publication is successfully helping to keep those millions staying and playing in Hollywood.

Fifteen years ago, while I had the privilege of serving as the Chairman of the Board of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, I identified another major thing missing in Hollywood: hotels.

So, Chamber President Leron Gubler and I stated calling on the Hiltons of the world and urged them to bring their brands to Hollywood. They didn’t hear us then, but today is another story.

Today, besides the venerable Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, we have the Loews Hollywood Hotel, W Hollywood, Redbury and Hollywood Hotel and, yes, the Hilton Gardens (the Baron finally saw the light). And, importantly, there are another 11 properties representing over 1,000 rooms in development.

Hotels in development include the 225-room Argyle Hotel at Argyle & Yucca, the 182-room boutique Dream Hollywood Hotel on Selma and Cahuenga, the 66-room luxury boutique hotel in the classic 1921 Security Bank building at Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga and the 31-room Chateau Celeste Suites housed in a 1927 architectural gem on Vermont Avenue.

Indeed, Hollywood is the place not only to play, it is the place to stay! DH LEFT: The venerable Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has recently undergone extensive rennovation.
