I

sn’t it amazing that the holidays come every year and always catch everyone by surprise—or is it just me?

Don’t get me wrong, I love this time of year especially the Thanksgiving kickoff.

Heading into the season in the spirit of gratitude is the perfect way to launch the annual abundance of celebration.

L-R Shauna McClure, Executive Director, Nyla and Oscar Arslanian, David Warren, Chair, Board of Trustees at Hollywood Arts Council’s Acknowledgement Event at Pantages Theatre.

This was particularly true for me as I completed a 33 year run as president of the Hollywood Arts Council.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful community both as editor of Discover Hollywood and with an organization whose mission is to promote, nurture and support the arts of Hollywood.

The idea of this publication began with 1979 survey of the arts—at that time the arts being the best part of Hollywood. Our central core, Hollywood Blvd., was in decline much like Main Streets throughout the U.S. and any bad news in or near our community was broadcast around the world. As a community, we began to believe the bad press. The founders of the Hollywood Arts Council saw a different Hollywood and we’ve followed that vision for 37 years.

Today it’s a different story. What many have worked toward for decades is coming to pass. It’s a new day and today, not only does everyone want to visit Hollywood, they want to live here too. Our new feature “Oscar’s Hollywood” reports on exciting new developments.

Encouragement and promotion of the arts in communities is not new and a trip this year to Santa Fe, New Mexico, was inspiring. Because long ago it was artists who helped make Santa Fe what it is today. Over 100 years ago, the city and its artists decided that the pueblo style of architecture was important to preserve Santa Fe’s unique character. They worked to build a city that celebrates its arts as well as its Native American cultural roots.

Hollywood, too, has worked to celebrate something unique to our culture and the first major development that opened in 2001, Hollywood & Highland Center, replicated the set of D. W. Griffith’s epic 1916 silent film Intolerance. Susan Hornik takes us on a tour of this unusual outdoor mall and around town to West Hollywood Gateway and other unique shopping locations.

The advent of awards season coincides with the season to be jolly and the gratitude continues as statuettes and accolades recognizing Hollywood’s premiere industry are presented. Scott Martin surveys the choices and the impact the awards industry has on the real part of Hollywood, those who work behind the scenes.

This holiday we had family in town who remarked “There’s never a dull day in Hollywood.” To that I say “Ain’t it the truth” and aren’t we blessed? The reel is real here and the real is reel as well. Be grateful and be joyful. Happy New Year!

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.

Holiday Hollywood Reading THE SCARLETT LETTERS: THE MAKING OF THE FILM GONE WITH THE WIND One month after her novel Gone With the Wind was published, Margaret Mitchell sold the movie rights for fifty thousand dollars. Fearful of what the studio might do to her story—”I wouldn’t put it beyond Hollywood to have…Scarlett seduce General Sherman,” she joked--the author washed her hands of involvement with the film. However, driven by a maternal interest in her literary firstborn and compelled by her Southern manners to answer every fan letter she received, Mitchell was unable to stay aloof for long.

In this collection of her letters about the 1939 motion picture classic, edited

by Randy L. Schmidt, readers have a front-row seat as the author watches the Dream Factory at work, learning the ins and outs of filmmaking and discovering the peculiarities of a movie-crazed public.

WARNER BROS. HOLLYWOOD’S ULTIMATE BACK LOT Movie studios are the wondrous, almost magical locales where not just films, but legend, are created. In this book, studio staff historian and Hollywood insider Steven Bingen throws open Hollywood’s iron gates and takes you inside the greatest, and yet most mysterious movie studio of them all: Warner Bros. Accompanied by stunning behind-the-scenes photos, maps, and revealing backstory, this book is your ticket to a previously veiled Hollywood paradise. (Note: All maps and photographs in the book were provided by Marc Wanamaker, Bison Archives.) “is book is like a magic carpet, taking movie buffs on a journey through the history of Warner Bros., from its dressing rooms and craft departments to its legendary backlot.

What a wonderful compendium of history, anecdotes, and even gossip. I loved every bit of it.” — Leonard Maltin, Film Critic

JOHN WAYNE’S WAY: LIFE LESSONS FROM THE DUKE e Duke was every man’s man, an American through and through who embodied rugged individualism in his own life and on the silver screen. He portrayed the hero who stood tall above the fray, not only because of his physical stature, but also because he refused to compromise in saying and doing what he knew to be right, regardless of the consequences. Novelist, screenwriter, and film historian Doug Brode goes behind the scene of one hundred of the Duke’s most iconic movie to delve into how the value expressed by the characters Wayne played were reflections of the actor’s own philosophy of life.

JUDY GARLAND ON JUDY GARLAND: INTERVIEWS AND ENCOUNTERS Judy Garland had a great desire to reveal her life story.

Her 1960 book contract indicated an audience ravenous for her autobiography and a publisher (Bennett Cerf at Random house) who believed in its success. “It’s going to be one hell of a great—everlastingly great— book with humor, tears, fun, emotion, and love,” she said. But when Garland died nearly 10 years later at age 47, her efforts to write her memoir—in part to dispel the “fantastically distorted’ stores created by the media—had not come to fruition. Judy Garland on Judy Garland: Interviews and Encounters (Chicago Review Press) edited by Randy Schmidt, explores the legend’s life in her own words, and is likely the closest Judy’s legions of fans will come to experiencing her first-person story.

Santa Fe

e’d planned the trip to begin with a taxi ride to Union Station for a 6:00 p.m. overnight train to Albuquerque. We hadn’t left the station and the trip was fulfilling our film noir fantasies. With AMTRAK and Metrorail now using it, the station was bustling with commuters and travelers. We’d booked a roomette for two and after being welcomed aboard by a friendly porter, we settled in enjoying the on time departure and ride through the outskirts of Los Angeles.

We enjoyed our dining car dinner paired with a couple who were touring the entire country via train. e evening ended with the porter converting our seats to comfortable bunks as we rattled along the rails lulled gently to sleep.

16 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / WINTER 2014

Waking early, there was no doubt that we were now in the fabled southwest as the expansive scenery sped by. Shortly after breakfast, we pulled into Albuquerque and leisurely drove to our destination.

Arriving in Santa Fe, we soon discovered that Pueblostyle architecture takes on an entirely new meaning when experienced in this city. Long ago its city fathers (and mothers) realized that part of its unique appeal was its Native American heritage, beautiful desert surroundings and influence in the founding and settling of the American West.

In 1912, when the town had only 5,000 people, the city's civic leaders designed and enacted a sophisticated city plan that incorporated elements of the City Beautiful movement, the

Many galleries on Canyon Road were part of Santa Fe’s original art colony.

conflicts between preservationists and scientific planners. ey set forth the principle that historic streets and structures be preserved and that new development must be harmonious with the city's character.

Santa Fe’s Native American origins go back to as early as 1050.

Five hundred years later it would be declared a province of New Spain. In 1610, it became the provincial capital making it the oldest state capital in the United States. Its rough and tumble history saw the city move from Spanish to Mexican rule, annexed by the Republic of Texas in 1836 and briefly few the Confederate flag in 1862. It became a U.S. territory and then in 1912 admitted to the Union.

An important link to Western expansion, the Santa Fe Trail was a crossroads for settlers moving west. Santa Fe was originally envisioned as an important stop on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. But as the tracks progressed into New Mexico, the civil engineers decided that it was more practical to go through Lamy, a town in Santa Fe County to the south of Santa Fe. When the mainline of the railroad bypassed Santa Fe, it lost population. However artists and writers, as well as retirees, were attracted to the cultural richness of the area, the beauty of the landscapes and its dry climate. Local leaders began promoting the city as a tourist attraction. e city sponsored architectural restoration projects and erected new buildings according to traditional techniques WINTER 2014 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 17

and styles, thus creating the "Santa Fe style". Edgar L. Hewett, founder and first director of the School of American Research and the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe, was a leading promoter. He began the Santa Fe Fiesta in 1919 and the Southwest Indian Fair in 1922 (now known as the Indian Market).

Santa Fe’s homage to its Pueblo Native American roots is undeniable. The romance of the Southwest, its climate and allure has attracted and kept artists at the heart of its community life for nearly 100 years. The city even has its own “Walk of Fame”—names of noted artists who lived and worked in Santa Fe are embedded in the sidewalk outside of its art museum.

New Mexico has been one of Hollywood’s favorite locations since the early days of filmmaking.

While Albuquerque is its center, Santa Fe is at its heart. Many of Hollywood’s elite have settled here including actress Shirley McLaine.

Oscar-winning, film legend Greer Garson knew that New Mexico was more than a pretty postcard: it’s a filmmakers’ paradise when it comes to an endless variety of locations, amazing geography and great services. And, to jumpstart a growing demand for working sound stages, she funded Garson Studios on the campus 18 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / WINTER 2014

of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design.

Early filmmakers discovered New Mexico and such early film luminaries as D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford and Mack Sennett created one-reel ”flickers” as early as a century ago. Crazy Heart, Do You Know the Millers?, Milagros Beanfield, Iron Man 2 and the new series Manhattan are just a few recent projects filmed in and around Santa Fe. New Mexico’s 30% tax credit sweetens the pie to ensure that this longstanding tradition continues.

Today all these influences meld into a style and ambiance that’s enjoyed by visitors and residents alike.

Proud of their roots, their chilies, art and cuisine, “Santa Fe style” means more than architecture. Cuisine is Santa Fe’s middle name and with over 400 restaurants in the city, you can be assured that there’s something for everyone’s palette. When ordering Southwest, “red or green” is the perrenial question— chili that is. Often the answer is “Christmas” a combination of the two. New Mexican is not Mexican-style but more a combination of the cultures that shaped this region—Native, Spanish and Anglo. Its emphasis on international is as much part of its cuisine as it is its annual folk art festival.

While downtown Santa Fe caters to its tourist population, it’s still the place to gather. Once the original art colony, Canyon Road offers one of the country’s highest concentration of art galleries showing Southwestern, contemporary art and sculpture.

Nearby the newly refigured Railyard Arts District is a feast of contemporary art and cuisine and its farmers market a weekly must do.

Venerable hotels such as La Fonda or Hotel Santa Fe are favorites as are a host of smaller properties and B&B’s. e town is definitely walkable and a free shuttle is provided that connects the town and its cultural sites.

The list of what to see and do in Santa Fe kept us on the move for three full days. The Georgia O’Keefe

Museum and Santa Fe Art Museum filled an entire afternoon. A walking tour of the town one morning followed with Museum Hill’s outstanding Folk Art and Native American Art Museums. Santa Fe’s International Folk Art Festival attracts aficionados worldwide. A trip to these museums is unforgettable. Next on the list was browsing in the towns shops and exploring the au-

thentic Indian Market adjacent to the town square.

Taking out time for a traditional breakfast at the Old Plaza Café and sampling Santa Fe’s restaurant scene with stops for a signature Smoky Sage Margaritas at El Secreto Bar at the St. Francis Hotel, sadly too soon it was time to say “adios” to Old Santa Fe. Recently named one of the 10 best cities in the United States, Santa Fe offers more than its architecture and galleries. Almost everyone you talk to comments on the spirit of the place, an intangible magnetic force that brings visitors year after year and inspire those fortunate enough to call Santa Fe “home” who continue to celebrate and preserve its rich legacy.

Shopping d o o w y l ol H e! tS yl

by Susan Hornik

ollywood is a great place to shop with an amazing array to choose from. Whether you like designer boutiques or unique clothing stores, numerous great gifts are available for purchase throughout the area!

It’s easy to forget the holiday spirit, if you have to deal with insane crowds at the mall. But for a much more relaxed experience, try the outdoor shopping mall, Hollywood & Highland Center, where parking is much easier!

Considered the entertainment center of Los Angeles for tourists and locals, H & H is steeped in Hollywood history, close to legendary landmarks such as the world famous Hollywood Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese eatre (formerly Grauman's), where red carpet movie premieres take place and, of course, Hollywood & Highland also features the Dolby eatre, home of the Academy Awards! is iconic destination features over 70 luxury retailers, from Louis Vuitton, L'Occitane, Victoria's Secret and MAC to quintessential California stores like GAP, Kitson, Oakley, Shoe Palace and Lucky Brand Jeans.

After a busy day of shopping at H&H, you can enjoy 25 full-service and fast-casual restaurants such as e Grill on Hollywood, Hard Rock Café (and great gift shop), Trastevere Ristorante, California Pizza Kitchen and Cabo Wabo Cantina.

Sweet!

Sweet!

A day of holiday shopping might well tire you out, so if you want a quick pick me up, check out SWEET! Hollywood, the candy store chock full of fantastic gift items for kids of all ages! e impressive 30,000 square foot store, can be found on Level 2, next to the Dolby.

“We're confident that everyone will find the perfect gift or holiday enhancer at Sweet! Hollywood,” said Jonathan Clough, director of marketing and events.

“Our custom chocolate lab allows guests to create their own holiday recipe for what is sure to be unique and delicious holiday treat, while our Sticky candy makers are

Hot Topic

creating hand-made candy canes, a very popular and delicious addition to sweeten any event.”

Clough added: “We also have unique partnerships that allows Sweet! to be the creative holiday gift destination for anyone looking for a gift of a lifetime. Artist Jason Mesier’s one of a kind candy art depicts celebrity portraits . Jason seamlessly unites pop culture with candy, creating portraits of everyone from Miley Cyrus and Judge Judy to Candy Corn portraits of the Orange is the New Black cast.”

Odyssey LA Fashionistas looking for one of a kind, fun fashion from creative Los Angeles designers, can check out H&H’s Odyssey LA, on the second floor. “We have really beautiful, hand crocheted items brought in every week!” enthused owner Olivier DeCamp. “People from all over the world who shop here which is why we carry both winter and summer clothing all year round. Our style is very high quality bohemian, but very affordable! ere’s nothing in the store priced higher than $45! And we plan to have more for men in the coming year.”

Another unique store at H&H is Hot Topic, the place to holiday shop for the music and pop culture junkie in your life.

You’ll find exclusive items for fan favorites like BBC’s “Doctor Who,” “Batman,” AMC’s “e Walking Dead” and Disney as well as band merchandise from 5 Seconds of Summer, Black Veil Brides and e Beatles.

Over the last 10 years, the Hot Topic Foundation gave nearly $9 million to nonprofit organizations that create music and arts programs for young people across the country, so if you want to round up your gift purchases to the next dollar, the change will go right to the Foundation!

Searching for the perfect gift for your teen or best friend (or you!), there’s Sephora for cosmetics, and fashion at Express, American Eagle, the Gap and Forever 21—all popular with those forever 21. And just across the street, closer than running the length of an average shopping mall, you’ll find American Apparel and H&M. By now your shopping bags should be jammed full.

LEFT: Hollywood and Highland features a vast selection of shopping choices and experiences!

Madame Tussauds Hollywood

Madame Tussauds

Holiday gifts don’t have to come in wrapped packages! You could give your friends and family the ultimate celebrity experience--tickets to Madame Tussauds Hollywood, where you get up close to 125 amazingly life-like wax figures of the world's most famous faces. “is holiday season, visitors can get up close to our new One Direction wax figures, who are now in Hollywood until February 27th!” said Rebecca Binford, marketing manager.

P.S., don’t leave Madame Tussauds Hollywood, until you’ve checked out their gift shop, which has lots of fun souvenirs for you to remember your visit! continues

Best of all, if you have any cd’s you are no longer listening to, you can bring them in and Amoeba will buy them from you, so you can have extra cash to spend on gifts for the holidays!

Rolling Out the Red

There’s nothing in Hollywood—or anywhere—like Awards season. Cue up

by Scott Martin

I

t’s snow season around the rest of the country, but in Hollywood, it’s Awards Season... a time to be merry and joyful even if we can’t play in the cold, white, fluffy stuff. During the month of December, several films will be released in limited engagements “for Academy Award Consideration” so they are eligible for 2014 voting. As we become more aware of the major contenders, it’s always fun to start watching to see how many awards shows there are to celebrate them, each in their different way… all leading up to the “Big Daddy”, the Academy Awards. e season has always kicked off at the beginning of the year with the Golden Globes and People’s Choice Awards. However, it seems that awards shows are such popular TV fare, you don’t have to wait until January anymore. After 17 years as a private affair, the Hollywood Film Awards was televised live on November 14th for the first time on CBS with Queen Latifah as the host. Broadcast live from the Hollywood Palladium, the show was called the “Official Launch of the Award Season.” Besides offering awards for films seen in 2014, it also featured “previews of coming attractions”— clips shown of films to be released during November and December.

38 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / WINTER 2014

Other early contenders to preview the films that may do well through the 2014-2015 awards season, but that were not broadcast, included the Gotham Independent Film Awards hosted

by Uma urman, considered to be the “First Ceremony of Awards Season”, and the untelevised New York Film Critics Circle awards announced on November 30th. ese entities all recognized Boyhood, Foxcatcher, Birdman, e Imitation Game, and Still Alice and performances by actors Julianne Moore, Michael Keaton and Timothy Spall with their awards.

According to Wikipedia, there are a total of 40 film industry awards shows in the United States every year. While some of them, like Producers Guild of America Awards, Directors Guild of America Awards, Writers Guild, Art Directors Guild, ACE Eddie Awards (film editors) or Costume Designers Guild Awards are interesting and informative, they relate directly to their industry guild member audiences.

Most of the televised award shows are purely film-based, but the Peoples Choice Awards on January 7th includes music and television as well as film. As one of the few shows that bases its voting solely on public opinion, its popularity has grown from 62 million 5 years ago to 700 million last year according to its executive producer Mark Burnett. is year’s hosts Anna Faris and Allison Janney should also add to its viewer base.

Close on its heels on Sunday, January 11th comes the Golden Globe Awards, which has been around since 1947. Nominated films and television programs are voted on by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and presented at a star-studded gala at the Beverly Hilton since 1961. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are slated to host the show for the third time and by now the frenzy is in full swing. e 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards caps off a busy week when it airs live from the Hollywood Palladium on ursday, January 15th. Previously on the CW, the film and television critics associations have

Carpet

the lights!

formed a partnership to air their Movie and TV awards shows separately on the A&E Network. In this case, critics and writers vote on films in the different categories so it is said to be one of the most accurate Oscar predictors. e SAG—or Screen Actors Guild Awards—airs Sunday, January 25th on TBS and TNT. Only members of acting guild SAG-AFTRA may vote, so all winners are decided by more than 100,000 guild members. It is the only televised awards show that exclusively honors performers in both film and television. e awards focus on both individual performances as well as on the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture. is year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Debbie Reyolds. e award is for fostering the highest ideals of the acting profession. e evening is a very special night in Hollywood, indeed. e 57th Grammy Awards is a music-based show, although some awards are film or video-related.

In 2015, the show is scheduled for Sunday February 8th to air from Staples Center on CBS. is is the time of year

when Hollywood is awash in red carpet and its streets filled with limousines scuttling across the city. e popular Independent Spirit Awards takes place on February 21st, is a fun, celebrity-filled but more casual event the day before the Academy Awards, and is a good predictor of the Oscars.

However, they do have a twenty-million dollar maximum budget limit for feature nominees which would leave out films such as Interstellar and Unbroken this year. Seth Rogen has made the show fun in the past but the host for this year has not been announced as of publishing.

Noted marine artist Wyland has “gone Hollywood,” painting a whale mural on Gower at Willoughby (on a Paramount soundstage wall). See George Sportelli’s Nancy Sinatra off Highland Avenue opposite Hollywood High, Tony Curtis on the Hollywood Freeway eastbound, Frank Sinatra on east side of Las Palmas just south of Hollywood Blvd, and Johnny Cash at Bronson and Hollywood Blvd. Artist Hector Ponce’s 2-mural tribute to Hollywood faces west near Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilton.

The Academy presents Hollywood Costume Exhibit; ends March 2nd.

The Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present the final showing of the groundbreaking multimedia exhibition Hollywood Costume in the historic Wilshire May Company building, the future location of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The Academy enhanced the original exhibition to include 150 costumes from more than 60 lenders. The Academy’s presentation adds more than 40 costumes to this landmark show. Upending the conventions of what is considered “costume,” Hollywood Costume reveals what is hidden in plain sight: that films are about people, and the art of the costume designer helps create their characters. The exhibition brings together iconic costumes from Hollywood’s Golden Age to modern classics.

Skirball Cultural Center presents Light & Noir Exiles and Émigrés in Hollywood, 1933–1950 ends March 1st The birth of Hollywood is a Jewish and an American story alike. It is a story of immigration and innovation, One of many outstanding displays at “Hollywood Costume” exhibit. Photo: Richard Harbaugh beginning with the handful of visionary émigrés who founded the American film industry in the early twentieth century. Less widely known are the stories of the German-speaking actors, directors, writers, and composers—many of them Jewish—who fled Nazi persecution in Europe and went on to shape Hollywood’s “Golden Age.” The exhibit pays tribute to their lives and work, revealing the profound ways that the émigré experience left a mark on American movie-making.

Co-presented with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Light & Noir will be on view at the Skirball October 23, 2014–March 1, 2015 and is complemented by the related exhibitions The Noir Effect and Café Vienne , and LACMA’s Haunted Screens: German Cinema in the 1920s.

Boulevard is shut down for the Oscars, Angelinos may complain about the traffic, but the families of all those lighting, sound, transportation, rigging and all the rest of the crew on production for the events and television studios are very thankful for the financial support that all this activity is providing.e ripple effects are far reaching, for the bump in each film or TV show that is nominated will increase revenues that help the studios, which helps all employees and vendors that are related to those studios. Not to mention the TV stations’ production, programming and talent, plus the hotels and restaurants where the after-parties are happening, etc. With all the concern about “runaway production”—film and television produced outside of California—this time of year there’s no doubt how important the industry is to our economy as well as our psyche.

Any way we look at it, it’s a win-win-win. We all love the movies and the television shows, the red carpets and the stars, the palm trees and the So-Cal Winter Sun. And the icing on the cake is that the Awards Season is good for the economy of Hollywood and our working families can look forward to a Happy New Year too! DH

he recent news that media titan Viacom is moving its cable networks to Hollywood is truly a big time step forward in the on-going renaissance taking place in our town. The company is taking 180,000 square feet of space and moving their cable networks MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Spike TV to Kilroy Realty’s Columbia Square on Sunset Blvd at Gower.

That’s right, the original historic CBS complex that once housed and broadcast radio shows like Jack Benny and George Burns and Gracie Allen as well as KNX radio and CBS television programs.

David Simon, executive vice president of Kilroy, said in a recent Los Angeles Times article, "The decision by one of the giants in the entertainment industry to relocate some of its most popular networks from Santa Monica and Burbank and consolidate them at Columbia Square further demonstrates that office environments matter. This is a bellwether event for both Columbia Square and the ongoing rebirth of Hollywood."

Besides operating from such an iconic location, Viacom will be bringing somewhere in the range of 600 jobs to Hollywood. Many of these people will also relocate to Hollywood and live in the 20-story tower that will be part of the Columbia Square project, with 200 apartments.

Apartments for employees will also be available at the recently completed 535-unit Eastown complex on Hollywood Blvd. at Argyle adjacent to The Pantages Theatre. Plans are also afoot for more live-work communities at the Hollywood Palladium site and at the Earl Carroll Theatre (Nickelodeon) site on Sunset Blvd.—all within a short walking distance from some terrific restaurants, retailers and the Metro RedLine station at Hollywood & Vine!

Our hats are off for the vision and commitment shown by Kilroy Realty and Viacom. They are showing the way and helping create a spectacular future for Hollywood. DH

The new Columbia Square complex will house VIACOM studio and business space, as well as retail and residential space.
