Hollywood, Entertainment district in Los Angeles, United States
The neighborhood spans across central Los Angeles, featuring wide boulevards, film studios, theaters, restaurants, and residential areas between Hollywood Hills and Hancock Park.
The area transformed from agricultural land to a film industry center in 1911 when the first motion picture studio opened on Sunset Boulevard.
The Walk of Fame extends along Hollywood Boulevard with over 2,700 brass stars embedded in the sidewalk, honoring entertainment industry figures.
The Red Line subway connects the district to downtown Los Angeles through three stations, while numerous bus lines provide additional transportation options.
The Hollywood Sign, initially constructed as a real estate advertisement in 1923, stands 45 feet tall on Mount Lee in the Santa Monica Mountains.
