FALL 2015

C

an someone tell me why there’s always the “good news and bad news”? There was good news for our businesses with summer tourism up but not so good for traffic or for our hillside neighbors who were inundated with visitors armed with GPS and smart phones winding their way on narrow roads to get a better view of our famed sign. I guess it’s just part of the yin and yang of life to keep things in balance.

Keeping things on an even keel as far as preserving Hollywood’s precious history, Hollywood Heritage, Inc. has been at work for 35 years. Hollywood’s film industry began when Jesse Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille arrived in 1912, but it was settled in the late 1800s. Precious few remnants of our past remain and thanks to their good work much will remain for future generations. One of the organization’s founders, Christy McAvoy, shares some of their triumphs in her article on their history.

While we hope our readers learn or discover something in every quarterly issue, in the fall we focus on education. The American Academy of Dramatic Arts celebrates and respects its rich history as the nation’s first acting school. No, it didn’t start in Hollywood, but had been established well over twenty years when Cecil B. DeMille attended in New York. The school arrived in Hollywood about 15 years ago and is now seminal to Hollywood’s growing educational community.

And then there’s Mexico, a treasure of history and tradition at our doorstep.

Early this year, Oscar and I returned to Mexico City. We stayed right on the Zocolo in the historic district. Restored buildings, walking streets, three centuries of cultural heritage and a gleaming new art museum made for an amazing trip. Add to all that the wonderful Frida Kahlo House Museum and three days on the Mexican Riviera on the beach in Zihuatanejo, glorious! We hope you enjoy our Sojourn to Mexico.

Fall in Southern California can be warm, and maybe with the drought there will be more falling leaves than usual. We take Halloween seriously here and, coupled with the traditional Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), it’s filled with more than ghosts and goblins, respect for family, the past and laughing at our inevitable demise.

I’ll drink to that. Pass the tequila.

FALL 2015 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 15

Celebrating

130 Years of Excellence The American Academy of Dramatic Arts:

“Cradle to the Stars”

P

erhaps the one thing that most Hollywood stories have in common is the element of chance coupled with a bit of fantasy. While the American Academy of Dramatic Arts’ reputation and illustrious alumni speak strongly, the unlikely scenario of the DeMille dynasty playing a key role in its New York beginnings and on a second campus in the town where the DeMille name has even a greater impact is part of modern day Hollywood lore.

Originally established in New York City as the Lyceum eatre School of Acting in 1884 by Franklin Haven Sargent, a Harvard University speech professsor, it was shaped by several luminaries of its day, including playwright Henry DeMille (father of you know who). It was Henry who gave the school the name it would carry to Hollywood 117 years later.

Prior to e Academy, actors were trained primarily through stock companies and a trial and error approach. Under Sargent’s direction, the original ciriculum was based on the early teachings of Francois Delsarte and and later other masters of acting technique. In 1896, Sargent noted that other acting schools that by then had been established throughout the country were under the direction of either a graduate or a former teacher. e first acting school in America, e Academy contributed to a major shift in the presentation of live theatre advocating and teaching students to bring “truth to imaginery circumstances.”

By introducing a formal education process, it could be said that e Academy legitimized the profession and today scores of actors credit its teaching with their success. Grounded in 16 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FALL 2015

stage technique, its alumni roster includes such early Hollywood film stars as Edward G. Robinson, William Powell, Spencer Tracy, Pat O’Brien. Rosalind Russell, Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall.

In addition to its training, the school helps prepare its students for the realities of a profession where education does not always equal success. Acting provides the possibility of great fun and fulfillment as well as the likelihood of considerable frustration and struggle. Success in acting requires, among other things, a level of perseverance similar to that of any extremely challenging goal. e Academy's primary purpose is to serve those who want to spend their lives as actors. While some students may ultimately choose other paths in their lives, all students are expected to make a commitment to professional excellence and discipline.

Intensive training at a drama school of the sort offered at e Academy involves a student's whole being, and the time spent is, inevitably, an important period of intellectual and physical development as well as imagination and risk taking.

Watching a Movement Class as instructor Mark Knowles put students through their paces leaves no doubt that something special is happening here. Bright, alert faces atop energetic and coordinated bodies clearly demonstrate dedication, motivation and desire. ese are first year students among 150 accepted into study at the West Coast campus. Culled from 3,000 applicants, some will continue and be accepted into e Academy’s Company, the 25-member acting ensemble only for third year students.

“Hollywood is home to so many legendary artists and creative minds. At The Academy, our students are right in the middle of it all, taught by some of the most talented instructors, all professional actors, whose passion is to train our actors with fine-tuned precision and real-world experience. Hollywood allows our students easier access to agents and studio talent scouts, and a first-hand look at the industry itself with all its glorious moving parts.”

—Theresa Hayes, Managing Director and Director of Instruction at The Academy’s Los Angeles Campus.

At each stage of development, students' classroom knowledge is evaluated through performance projects, scene work or onstage performances. At the completion of each year, students are invited to continue and must meet certain benchmarks. is is a criteria each student knows before enrolling. eir commitment is supported not only by the teaching staff, but by costumers, set designers and other technical staff who give students the experience of working with professional theatre people. e campus includes set construction shop, a bungalow filled with props, an extensive costume collection, four television studios, black box theatre classrooms, and main stage proscenium theatre.

For the serious, motivated student who is ready to make a commitment to acting—and to concentrated professional training—e Academy offers much more than a long history of success. It offers a well-balanced and carefully structured curriculum, a qualified and caring faculty, and the rare chance to follow in the footsteps of its illustrious alumni and pursue a life's dream.

Like any institution, e Academy has grown and evolved.

Its founder remained at the helm nearly 40 years and one of its first graduates, Charles Jehlinger, succeeded him until his death in 1952. In 1963, then-president Academy alumna and veteran Broadway actor, Frances Fuller, moved the school to its midtown Manhattan location where it remains today. Ten years later in 1974, e Academy established a West Coast campus in Pasadena where it remained until 2001 when it purchased ABOVE: Actor and Academy alumni Paul Rudd on a recent campus visit.

RIGHT: A fitting in school’s Costume Department.

Today the goal of e Academy is to prepare students for acting careers in theatre, television and film. Its stated purpose is to provide a practical, post-secondary education that emphasizes the skills needed by an actor in today's competitive environment. Its national and regional accreditation ensures that if a student transfers to another school, their credits will be accepted.

Its training program is unique, based upon the long tradition of The Academy and embraces modern methods that promote discipline and self-discovery, along with the development of technique. Its faculty consists of working professionals and master teachers. They lead students to deeply felt, psychologically true and physically realized performances. Students receive constant feedback from an engaged and dedicated faculty.

Academy connections have been developed with theatre artists, professional theatres and educators worldwide. e growth of e Academy’s international student body has been remarkable by any measure. Students come from varied backgrounds and from all around the world. Diversity helps give students exposure to many cultures, enriching the depth of the actor's work. Selectivity yields a pool of students who nourish each other's growth.

ABOVE CENTER: Movement class in progress. ABOVE: Set Design workshop property formerly A&M Records on the south lot of the former Charlie Chaplin Studios in Hollywood. roughout its history, Academy faculty and administrators have been among the most progressive theatrical theorists and visionaries of their day, and today are actively influencing the field of actor training and theatre practice.

Learning the Craft in LA • AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ARTS e Academy alumni list is an impressive one, with prominent names from all aspects of the entertainment industry, past and present. As a group, e Academy alumni hold a total of more than 103 Oscar®, 266 Emmy®, and 90 Tony® nominations plus five Kennedy Center Honorees. is year actor Paul Rudd joined 43 others as he received his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. e numbers grow every year.

During the 20th Century The Academy became widely known as the "Cradle to the Stars" because of its glittering array of alumni that now includes Robert Redford, Danny Devito, John Cassavetes, Gena Rowlands, Anne Bancroft, Cleavon Little and Grace Kelly. This legacy continues into the 21st Century with The Academy alumni such as Christine Ebersole, Paul Rudd, Kim Cattrall, and Dennis Haysbert to name a few.

Tony award-winning Christine Ebersole noted in an interview for Backstage “The Academy was a great experience for me. It taught me a great work ethic and the importance of servicing the piece that you’re working on—taking your ego out of it and bringing your talents to it, helping it to be realized through your other team members. It made me realize that acting is really a team sport.”

With its unique training program and incomparable heritage, advanced methods of instruction, an exemplary faculty and leadership committed to the same standards of excellence that have made The Academy foremost in its field, its future and that of future generations of actors in New York, Hollywood and throughout the country is ensured.

And this is where the story comes full circle; in 1912, Jesse Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille made their way west, using the Hollywood countryside as their outdoor stage. It was at The Academy in New York where that saga began…a perfect Hollywood ending. DH

Hollywood Heritage

P

reserving historic places in Hollywood, Los Angeles’s most famous neighborhood, is a big job, but Hollywood Heritage Inc. has been doing just that for 35 years. e non-profit organization is dedicated to preservation and education about the early film industry. rough the efforts of five women, Marian Gibbons, Mildred Heredeen, Christy ( Johnson) McAvoy, Frances Offenhauser, and Susan (Peterson) St. Francis, noting the lack of a preservation organization and historical society in Hollywood, used their volunteer and professional expertise to fill that void. ey incorporated Hollywood Heritage Inc. in 1980, with former Los Angeles County Supervisor John Anson Ford as Chairman of the Board. In his first message to the members, Ford stated “We must strive to preserve Hollywood’s world-

by Christy McAvoy wide renown as the home of the country’s most visible art form”.

Using the slogan “e past is our heritage; the present is our responsibility; the future is our challenge,” the organization educates the public about the physical resources associated with the place called “Hollywood”. Tours and programs about the silent film era, architectural history, incentives for saving buildings, and art exhibits are just a few of the mechanisms that have been employed to raise public awareness over the years.

It was Hollywood Heritage that did the extensive research required to create the Hollywood Boulevard Historic Commercial and Entertainment District and secure its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for the 100 plus buildings which comprise one of the world’s most famous “Main Streets”.

Since then, Hollywood Heritage has played significant roles in the preservation of numerous national and local landmarks in and around the District, such as the Janes House, the El Capitan eater, the Egyptian eater, the Cinerama Dome, TCL Grauman’s Chinese eater, and the Max Factor Building.

When the Community Redevelopment Agency came to

Hollywood, Hollywood Heritage advocated for including historic buildings as part of the redevelopment plan and was enlisted to perform the historic survey. Today, Hollywood Heritage continues to maintain the Historic Buildings Inventory, an effort it had begun in 1978 to identify and evaluate historic structures. is inventory was the basis for subsequent surveys by the City, and is continuously used by the public.

Soon after its founding, Hollywood Heritage was tasked with saving the Lasky-DeMille Barn, rented in 1913 by Cecil B. DeMille and Jesse L. Lasky as a studio for the first feature-length film made in Hollywood, “e Squaw Man.” is historic structure, originally located at Selma Ave. and Vine St., was the birthplace of Paramount Studios and was declared a California State Landmark in 1956.

Located since 1983 across from the entrance to the Hollywood Bowl, the “Barn” houses the Hollywood Heritage Museum displaying an extensive collection of archival photographs of early film sites, players, sets and related ephemera as well as historic photos of early Hollywood. e Museum archives contain two important local history collections in addition to its silent film holdings. e Woodruff Collection chronicles the important real estate development of Hollywoodlandknown world-wide for its genesis of the famed “Hollywood” sign, and one of the best-designed subdivisions in Los Angeles. e Torrence Collection preserves Bruce Torrence and the Toberman family’s lifelong commitment to Hollywood’s local history, documenting the people, places, and events of the 20th Century.

In 2011, with enormous volunteer effort and generous community contributions, the building was repainted with its original color scheme in time to celebrate the 100th an-

niversary of the making of e Squaw Man in 2013. e Museum has been featured on the Travel Channel and in other Hollywood-related television features and well as in nmerous publications. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It’s open Wednesdays through Sundays. roughout its history, the organization has nominated buildings and sites for Cultural Heritage status. Yamashiro, CBS Columbia Square and the 1907 J. R. Toberman house, home of the former Los Angeles mayor, are just a few of the individual historic places protected by this program.

Hollywood Heritage was the steward of the City-owned Wattles Mansion from 1983 to 2009 raising $2.5 million and devoting thousands of volunteer hours in the restoration of this 1903 landmark estate, which includes a Mission Revival style residence designed by renowned architects Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey and its spectacular gardens. At the end of its tenure, it provided the City with cultural landscape and historic structures reports and having listed the property on the National Register of Historic Places and as a Historical Cultural Monument.

In addition to protecting the commercial core, the organization has assisted with the creation of historic residential districts and Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (“HPOZ”) such as the Hollywood Grove Continues on page 60

forty-year love affair culminated this year as we returned to Mexico City to visit the Frida Kahlo House Museum and the new Museo Soumaya. A visit to this amazing city is a time travel adventure visiting recently uncovered Aztec pyramids adjacent to the Zocolo, exploring 16th Century churches and palaces, the beau arte Palacio Bella Artes filled with Rivera, Sequiros and Orozco murals and touring Frida’s hometown of Culican.

e ended our art-filled journey with a brief flight to Zihuatanejo and the restorative warm waters of the Mexican Pacific. The town’s charms have not dimmed. Although it has grown considerably, Zihuatanejo still keep its fishing village atmosphere. For more glitz and mega resorts, neighboring Ixtapa is only a few miles and inexpensive cab ride away.

Zihuataneho enjoys a wonderfully colorful history that spans nearly three centuries.

From the early pirate enclaves and marauding Spanish galleons, to present day movie stars and global dignitaries, the once tiny village has long been home to a luminous array of adventurers drawn to the tranquility of this comfortably hidden retreat.

While on previous visits we returned to the spectacular Las Brisas Hotel on its own beach in Ixtapa, this year we stayed on the bay at the Hotel Catalina, the first hotel along Zihuatanejo’s beautiful and protected bay shoreline. Visiting with its longtime owner, Eva Breuer, she recalled the days when this it was known among the more elite circles searching for unaffected and peaceful hideaways.

George Hamilton, Grace Jones and Mick Jagger were just a few of the notables looking for the next undiscovered Mexican hideaway.

Built in the 1950s, Hotel Catalina’s rooms have extra large balconies and spectacular views.

Our guide from Mexico Tourism, Ana Guillermina Camarena, showed us other ecological sites in Ixtapa—alligators, lagoons and giant pink birds, the exotic roseate spoonbills, found only a short distance from the world class marina.

Mexico, our neighbor, is a complex country with three thousand years of history waiting to be explored. It offers ancient indigenous cultures, spectacular architecture and Spain right on our doorstep. DH

etting around Hollywood no longer has to involve looking for a parking spot or inching along Hollywood Boulevard. As local residents and tourists become more familiar with the convenience of DASH Hollywood and Metro Rail, getting to their destination has become easier. The regional transportation system has evolved, and now natives and newcomers alike can simply pick up an easy-to-follow map, and with some change in their pockets, arrive at any number of Hollywood locations with ease.

DASH Hollywood shuttle runs between Highland and Vermont Aves., Franklin Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. Anyone can hop on DASH shuttle for 50¢ (seniors 25¢) at one of the many Hollywood stops where the Navigate Hollywood with ease shuttle bus arrives approximately every half hour.

For longer routes there is the Metro Rail. The $1.75 ticket is obtained at the self-service machines located within the stations. An all-day pass, good for DASH, Metro buses, and the Metro subway, is only $7.00. The Metro Rail Red Line goes between North Hollywood and Union Station, with trains in both directions arriving approximately every ten minutes at the three Hollywood stops. From Hollywood, Universal Studios can be reached in five minutes and downtown in 15 minutes. The Metro Subway Red Line operates from 4:31am to 12:30 and till 2am on Fri and Sat. Schedules and maps at www.metro.net/riding/maps Connections can be made to Pasadena on the Gold Line, to Long Beach via the Blue and Green Lines, LAX via the Green Line, and to a number of further locations from downtown’s Union Station via Metrolink trains. Maps are available on site which clearly mark distances and appropriate transfers. Also available is the Metro 24 hour Owl Service.

Why I Love Hollywood

“I

collected comic books as a kid. “Dennis the Menace in Hollywood” was my favorite, because Dennis visited this magical place that had stars on the sidewalk, Shirley Temple’s hand and footprints in front of a Chinese palace, and a round building that looked like a stack of records.

It was also where Beaver Cleaver and Ricky Nelson lived. I begged my parents to go there for our summer vacation. So at age 12, we loaded up the family station wagon for a two week trip to California.

looks on people’s faces overseas when they ask me where I’m from and I answer with one word: “Hollywood.” I love seeing the Capitol Records building on my way to work and the Hollywood sign on my way home. I love all the restaurants and clubs that are less than ten minutes from my house. I love that my friends from the West Side are now driving to Hollywood for the nightlife; and I especially love the Hollywood Christmas Parade, an 84-year old tradition that I’m proud to co-host with Erik Estrada on Thanksgiving weekend. DH

But it wasn’t Disneyland that impressed me. It was the magical place that Dennis the Menace had discovered called Hollywood. The stars on the sidewalk were real, the Chinese Theater really did have Shirley Temple’s footprints, and that huge white sign in the hills was just like it looked in the comic book.

And the palm trees! Growing up in the midwest, if it wasn’t oppressively humid or freezing cold, it was raining—not to mention the tornados, one that wiped out half our house. So gazing up at the Capitol Records building, I was hooked and vowed I’d be back.

When I moved here, friends asked me why I chose Hollywood instead of the West Side. My answer today is the same as years ago. I say, “It fascinates me. I’m never bored.” I love the diversity and different cultures. I love not having to get on the freeway to go to work. I love the wide-eyed impressed

illions of lives have been touched by the man simply known as “Ron” to his many friends. The true story of his life would fill volumes. Yet many know little about him beyond his name and the value of his works.

L. Ron Hubbard has been aptly described as “a man ahead of his time defying any simple categorization.” Fully professional in many different fields, his life was one of constant adventure. You can walk through the chapters of Mr. Hubbard’s life at the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition. Winner of the prestigious Legacy Award, this exhibition is unique amongst ngst museums

and exhibits, its intimate life details, history and works of only one man, in more than 30 imaginative and innovative displays and exhibits.

To learn even more about Ron’s life read the Ron Series. Available in the museum bookstore.

The L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition is located at 6331 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, in the historic Hollywood Guaranty Building at the corner of Hollywood and Ivar. It is open 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week.

Advance bookings are recommended — call (323) 960-3511.

HPOZ and most recently assisted the residents of Sunset Square in their efforts to obtain HPOZ status.

Hollywood Heritage assists residents and property owners in finding historic materials, such as photographs and plans to guide restorations. It works with building owners finding restoration contractors, architects, and tenants. Its Preservation Committee meets with developers to ensure appropriate development on sites containing historic resources and advises the City’s council offices and Office of Historic Resources with preservation issues. In his 2015 State of Hollywood address, Councilperson Mitch O’Farrell was eloquent in describing his vision for growth and development, saying “I also like the idea of a Los Angeles where we value historic preservation while encouraging quality, well-conceived growth and development….” e organization prides itself on being a part of the regional, statewide, and national preservation network. In 2000, it hosted tours of historic Hollywood Boulevard Movie Palaces as part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s annual National Preservation Conference and in 2007 welcomed the California Preservation Foundation’s annual Preservation Conference in Hollywood at the Roosevelt Hotel. ese activities bring increased awareness of Hollywood’s historic resources and aid in the community’s tourism efforts.

For film aficionados, the Museum offers “Evenings @ e Barn,” engaging programs which bring film pioneers, films, and experts on early films and early Hollywood to the general public. New books on Hollywood are debuted in evenings with authors, the latest being Cecil B. DeMille: e Art of the Hollywood Epic.

In 2004 Hollywood Heritage published its first book, Historic

atching Kilroy Realty’s Columbia Square and Hudson Pacific’s Hollywood Icon take shape on Sunset Blvd. is easy because of their highly visible locations. Equally impressive, however, is J.H. Snyder’s $138 million, 244,000 sq. ft. HOLLYWOOD 959 office campus nearing completion on the CFI site at Seward and Romaine in the Media District between Santa Monica Blvd. and Melrose Ave. Comprised of two glass-enclosed five story office buildings designed by architecture firm Ware Malcomb, the project is rising on a lot across Romaine Street from Hollywood Center Studios which dates back to 1919 and is one of Hollywood’s oldest movie studios.

Envisioning the environment of a movie studio or tech campus, HOLLYWOOD 959 will include an on-site restaurant and screening rooms as well as an outdoor recreation space.

Principal Jerry Snyder, who has been in the real estate business since 1949, believes demand is strong enough among businesses in the creative entertainment fields for a campus-style complex catering primarily to the industry.

"We think that a lot of the entertainment and the media companies would like to have this kind of space." Snyder said.

by Oscar Arslanian These projects mean more than new jobs and new residents. They also attract clientele who will shop dine, attend theatres and become part of the cultural and economic fabric of Hollywood. With this new campus in the heart of the Media District, there’s no doubt that Hollywood’s key business star is rising once again.
