This project is important to the community unit and the world, because without Hollywood, we wouldn’t have great movies, music and shows. We wouldn’t have actresses and actors like we do today. The world would be pretty boring I we didn’t have movies or shows.
In the 1857 Harvey Wilcox, he made a fortune in the real estate, relocated to the area from Kansas along with his wife Daeida. She was going on a trip and a lady sitting next to her was talking about baby names and that she was going to name her Hollywood. Daeida liked the sound of it and when she returned to Southern California, she have the name to her husband’s ranch. Hollywood quickly became a great community, established in 1853, sporting a post office, a newspaper stand, a hotel and two markets by the turn of the century. The first hotel opened in 1902 by a developer who was selling residential lots along the foot hills. The hotel’s initial objective was to house the many people that he was trying to sell to. The community incorporated in 1903 , but it’s independence was short lived. In 1923, the famous Hollywood sign originally read “Hollywood Land” advertising a new housing development in the hills above town.
Hollywood quickly became famous. Silent Films were coming out and then there was the walk of fame. The Hollywood walk of fame was created in 1958 and the first star was placed in 1960 as a tribute to artists working in the entertainment business. The first Academy Awards presentation took place in Hollywood at the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, located on Hollywood Boulevard. Granted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science. The first Academy Merit awards were given on May 16, 1929 to Wings.
From the beginning of the film production, the art of motion pictures grew into full heep in the “silent era” before silent films were replaced by “talking pictures” in the late 1920’s. Many people were enjoying these silent films and would go to the movie theaters to go see them. Hollywod is now very well known in mostly every country. Lots of shows and movies are produced each year, all of them are mostly spectacular. Hollywood is mostly known for it’s acting studios and all the shops in Beverly Hills, where most of the films are made.
